Have to take a picture. Seat looks quite constant, but now there is more flat space for rider. Job was rather easy, even making of new cover. Just a piece suitable vinyl and suitable stapler. There was no need for any seams  :biggrin:. Cutting of seat pad was a little tricky, but hacksaw worked rather good.

Cool, much cheaper if you can do it yourself, ,did you use one of the stretchy vinyls, or one that needed warming up to get the right shape,, wanted to cover my last seat, but gave in and paid to have it done  :scratch_one-s_head:

The vinyl is a bit stretchy in one direction, no warming was needed.

Very nicely done. Looks better than some that are professionally recovered.   :good:
