Seat recovering - ZX6 2003

Post by MrFaulty »

Hi, has anyone recovered their own seat - particularly the pillion seat? I didn't have mine clipped down properly and when I went back and found it it is missing a fair amount of the black stuff :(

Saw some leather? on ebay in green and black that I thought would look great but not sure how difficult it is - or the quality of the ebay leather for that matter

Cheers
Ben

I got a leather one from Ebay (england) hasn't had alot of of use, but it fit on perfectly (although i did remove the existing cover) and then just staple it in. Deffinately certainly looks the goods

I ordered one from the same seller, and covered fitting it in my thread.

I treated it with leather cream before fitting and I'm going to treat it again while the ol' girl is off the road. I'm very happy with it.

I recovered a spare pillion seat in coloured vinyl from Clark Rubber to see what it would look like. Was easy to recover just cut to same size as existing one, stretch it over and staple-gun down. Kept it on for a while but went back to the standard black.
