Imagine riding your motorcycle. The wind is blowing through your hair and bystanders watch as the sun glistens off the chrome. But before you are out of sight, their eyes latch onto something less than attractive--big pieces of foam are sticking out of holes in your seat! A worn out seat can really ruin the appearance of an otherwise beautiful motorcycle. Although this is an unattractive problem, the good news is that it is one that can easily, and cheaply, be fixed at home. So lets get our materials ready and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Purchase a seat cover that has been pre-cut to fit your specific motorcycle model. There are many websites that sell these and typically you have the option of choosing many different colors. If you do not want to shop on the web you could check in your area for upholstery shops or cycle shops to see if they provide a similar product.
Take your motor cycle seat and turn it upside down. You should be able to see where the current cover has been attached (most likely with staples).
Remove the staples using the pliers and screwdriver or pry bar. These can be tough to remove so just keep working on them and be patient.
Remove the old seat cover from the seat, leaving the foam in place.
Take the new seat cover and place it on the seat; turn the seat upside down.
Begin pushing the loose ends of the seat cover against the seat and stapling them down with the staple gun.
Work your way around the seat, stapling down the cover and keeping it all tight.
When finished stapling, reattach your seat and you are ready to ride!
