Default New seat covers installed....pics

Finally, my new seat covers got here.
Old covers, nice and cool in the sun:


Sport seats in factory leather:


Found .40 cents under there. Good time to clean the carpet:


New covers installed and looking :



Removing the seats is a must, when installing these Coverkings. Takes only 2 minutes to get the seat out. 4 bolts, and one electrical connection. I recommend taking the roof off. It makes it easier to get the seat out, and you run less risk of scraping up your sills.
I sat took it out for a spin once I got everything back together, and let me tell you, they are COMFY! The color is more red than it looks in the pics, bad light.
Anyone on the edge of getting the Coverking leather covers, I say go for it!

Leatherette. Looks, feels like leather, but softer and seems to stretch better. 250.00 from Chip at CCA.

Default Update

These covers hold you in like glue! Just spent an hour in the saddle. Took a lot of twisties while I was out, and not once did I slide in the seat. There is nice padding behind these things that adds a lot of comfort too.
Very satisfied with these!
