Seat cover advice

Post by rsuarez »

Hi,

One item I have never liked about my CBX is the seat cover. Its not original and it has this feel/look of being plastic. I see in some of other members pics very nice leather or leather alike covers that make the bike look much better. Any advice on where to get these high quality covers?

Thanks

Ramon.

Tims sells a good quality replica of the stock seat cover and trim.
