Re-uphostered my HS821 seat

Well here's a quick review of a seat cover I got off eBay from this seller:

click here Firma Wijalis

I'm surprised at the quality, and fit.. especially because I payed 127xx CAD shipped, they did a custom material combination for me (Alcantara Top w/red stitching, Black embossed Hyperstrada logo, Italian Flag, CF vinyl patch and Vinyl gripper sides). Obviously shipping time took a little while to get under way because it was custom, but once it was on route it took only a matter of days to arrive at my door. Communication was actually pretty quick (usually a reply within a day). If you are going to do this to your bike, a quick note.. A Conair Clothing steamer is your BEST friend, and a pneumatic stapler is their hot sister.

Anyways, on with a few photos;

Oh, you can also see I swapped to the Magnesium Valve covers from the SP.

Yep, I color matched the tail section using vinyl. It's held up really well considering it's almost 2 yrs old now.

Good to know. I wouldn't want to paint my frame (requires too much effort), but the tail section and the side panels I've been contemplating doing them in paint.

Nope no templates, I stretched the vinyl to the sides, then cut very carefully the excess away.

Your butt sticks to the seat, so it's less slidey. I had to waterproof spray the material because it does soak up a lot of moisture (all alcantara does it). Comfort-wise, I'd say it's about the same as stock. Looks wise, 20x better than stock especially when my factory cover had a tear in it

lol.. Don't do that, I'm sure yours cleans up well. I like the rim tape in your Avatar pic, is it reflective?
