650 seat cover recommendations?

Post by Doc44 » Sat Aug 16, 2014 9:22 am

Anyone have any recommendations for places to buy a seat cover for a 650? Really after the original type red and black but would consider all black. Seen some leather ones on ebay, anyone used one of those? Cheers.

Worth thinking about getting it recovered professionally to be honest.

The club have a couple of recommended recoverers in the near enough correct covers , I would personally would get it done properly the shape of the seat is a bugger at the front,unless you have a heat gun or something similar.

So not tried those on eBay , but aware the 550 seat and 650 are different sizes as are the Jap model 650 and Uk model.

Thanks for the advice chaps. May be a bit out of my price range but roughly how much do you think it would cost to get it recovered professionally?

650 seat need a little more love when getting recovered though as they've a steel base that takes some strain with water.... sharp edges and rot usually need sorting on them. so the upholsterer need to add edging, extra foam, maybe some extra covering etc on the front of the seat where it will usually tear/split
