New Vinyl on a Seat...

Hey everyone.

I'm thinking about getting this seat cover for my bike that is a couple of different colors. The main part where the rider sits is black, but the back part of the seat is the same color as the bike. Kind of makes it look like you've got a cowl on the back of the bike even when you don't.

I like the way it looks, and my current seat is a bit faded and has a few small tears, so I'm thinking of going with this cover.

My question is, how hard is it to put the new cover on?? I've never really messed with vinyl. It SAYS it's easy to put on and will fit directly over the seat (it is custom made) so I THINK it should go on pretty snug and fit just fine...but I'm just wondering if there's anything that I should know before I order it!!

Thanks!!

My girlfriend and I just recovered her 250 seat last week.

Vinyl is VERY stretchy. We just got a small roll of it and cut a piece out and went at it with a staple gun. Took about an hour. The main holdup was that it was not the stock shape for the foam... it was made a little taller and narrower and was not one piece, so it was kind of a pain.

But yeah- i would think it would be fairly easy.
