I went to the fabric store, and I got the fuzzy stuff, it was like 3 dollars figured id wrap my seat in it and see what i thought. I left the stock vinal on so that i could just take the fuzz off if i didnt like it. I think it looks kinda cool but im going to go back to stock black because the fuzzy stuff gets everywhere. I may Try white vinal, ill post pics if i do. Here is the fuzzy seat http://members.tccoa.com/rjpeters/furryseat.jpg |

Arghhhh, help me, I'm blind, can't see, can't see! Very original to consider a fuzzy seat on your bike, but it's not a look that I personally care for... |

The white kinda works, somehow. The fuzzy stuff looks like the sheepskins the dresser guys put on their tour bikes. AL |

Ok, the vinyl is a little better. If you kept the fuzzy seat, I was going to suggest hanging dice on your bike somewhere. |

From what I've seen on the biker build shows on Discovery you can use a spray adhesive and maybe a hair dryer to remove the creases, but that would screw up the original vinyl. I've seen a few seats on eBay on occasion you could buy if you screw yours up. The white would look sweet if you can get the creases out. |

I like the fur, its original thinking. Usually you only see fur on the body panels |

Cool fur! Have fun with it, I like that. I myself don't care for the white so much, but then I tried to buy a yellow seat on E-Bay once cause my G'friend hates the yellow XB. |

yeah the white got dirty, Just putting it on so i dont think ill do the white. I may throw the fur back on when i go to hooters bike night, Just to see the response i get from the harley dudes Im sure they will get all grummpy and wierd if they see that, Hell id even throw a pink one on there just too see there reactions. I bet the ladies will like the fur.... |

You are going to like the white vinyl in the hot summer sun. I had my KLR done in white vinyl and it was considerably cooler than the blue one it replaced out in the So Cal deserts. |

warm the vinyl up with a hair dryer before stretching it over the seat. I suggest marine grade vinyl if you want it to last. |

You're killin' me Ben! I do think the white looks good though. My 70's era bicycle had a white banana seat on it...cleaned up real nice with a little blast of Fantastik kitchen cleaner!! |
