Good looking seat, I have worn out my DP seat after 20000 km. Might give them a run. Pretty cheap too I might add.

$160 for a seat cover is cheap?

I haven't used their StreetFighter cover, but the ones I've installed on Superbikes, Monsters, and Japanese stuff has been top notch. Good fit, and the material is nicer than anything else out there that I've seen. You really have to see it in person. $160 is pretty steep for a seat cover, no question.

Mine didn't fit for a 999. This was a job that was harder than I thought. Took it to a guy who has done auto upholstery for 20+ years and he said that the cover didn't fit like it should. He said that it was difficult even for him, but he got it mounted. I didn't like the finished product, so its in the garage somewhere.

I may have gotten the only one that sucked, but if I needed to do it again, I'd buy one of the aftermarket seats and not mess with the recovering.

I installed one on my sfs. Took only 20 mins. Looks great, and rides well with my leathers. I'd give it a two thumbs up, best bing bang for your buck!

It is when you live in Australia, my Streetfighter S cost me 30K out of the showroom. (so no cool bits) The DP comfort seat seat (rider only) retails in Australia for $281.33. The passenger DP comfort seat retails for $241.68.

Obviously the numbers above are for the complete seat not just a cover.

I have just ordered a seat cover from a company called Saxon Seats here in the UK. Obviously not a posh suede one at £60 but looks very nice. Should have it fitted over the weekend so will let you know how I get on.

Seat cover arrived this morning and I fitted it today. Rubbish picture but you get the idea. Fabric is vinyl throughout and fits over the existing seat cover. I did find the seat more difficult to refit afterwards but it did go on. Looks pretty smart I think.
