Custom Seat Creations rear seat cover

Ninja250Ryder · July 2nd, 2009, 02:06 PM

Hey everybody. I just received my custom rear seat cover from CustomSeatCreations.com. They are a great site to deal with and their product is spot on! The entire recovering of my rear seat took about an hour (I pay attention to details) and it looks great. I designed mine to mimic the rear cowl. What do you think?

I like it! You get the best of both worlds. The look of a seat cowl yet no cowl to take off when you want to carry a passenger.

I like it too.

I did the same thing.

Yours looks good as well.

Thanks. I did it for the exact reasons you mentioned, and it was 1/3 the cost of a cowl.

Yea, I saw your pictures somewhere and that is what gave me the idea to try it on mine. Thnx for tha inspiration

Why did you not put the strap back on?

camaroz1985 · July 7th, 2009, 12:23 PM

Glad I could help. I just didn't like the strap. I still have it that I could throw it on if someone rides with me, but that rarely happens, and usually they don't want to hold onto the strap anyway.

Hey, I noticed your fender is chopped. Was that a custom job or did you use a kit? If so, which one?

camaroz1985 · July 8th, 2009, 12:05 PM

No kit, just a dremel and a pice of aluminum I had lying around. Do yourself a favor, save some money, and just cut it off youself.

how come the seat looks round?

Ninja250Ryder · July 9th, 2009, 07:51 AM

round? you mean like without definition from the foam underneath? That would all depend on how nice of a job you did at applying the cover. If it's not stretched well and really hugs the seat, then you might have some slack in the cover and the seat would come off as round in appearance.
