Can anyone point to a website for a replacement seat cover for a 2005 FZS1000 please....
Mine has a rip left to right around the crotch area. Fed up of using duck tape

Thanks in advance

Just done a quick search on evilbay for you, as I'm looking for a new cover for my FZS 600.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=fzs+600+seat+cover&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xfzs+1000+seat+cover.TRS0&_nkw=fzs+1000+seat+cover&_sacat=0

Problem I've got is that the saddle I need a new cover for is not standard and trying to find a "custom" cover that will fit is proving to be quite difficult. I've got a local leather worker near to me but they quoted me a price I really think is OTT  :eek
RIP my beautiful red beast 1999 to 2017 😭🏍😭

I used a piece of leather from the back of my mam and dad's settee. They had thrown it out before I cut it up.

I used gaffa tape to hold it on.... and the job's a good'un.

You need boat/marine grade vynil upholstery faux leather: http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/boat-vinyl-upholstery

Here is how to do it:


It is very easy. If you do that you can also buy some extra foam and make the seat really comfty.

Or for £40 you can let the pros do it: http://www.sussexmotorcycles.com/elite-comfort-motorcycle-seats.html
