Well i bought a city x seat from a member on here and it was covered with leather.. Which is fine but very slippery and not a good thing when i can hardly hang on anyway.. bought the seat because it has more padding for me and passenger alike... So here it is.


Pulled old cover off.. Around 200 staples.. I ordered some factory fx gripper material for atvs, dirtbikes and motorcycle off ebay.. around 50 bucks.. here are the pictures..

What it was before i started
