seat cover

[78OldRide]

My seat on 2011 RTSSE5 is tearing on the seams. I was wondering if any one knows of a place that sells a seat cover i could order.

Here are some options: 1) check Facebook for a replacement. Often people are getting rid of the stock seat because they upgraded. I recently bought a brand new STL seat for $50. 2) have a local upholsterer make a new cover. It might be cheaper than what you think, and you can choose the design and shape. And you can add seat pads and backrests, if you want.

Good suggestions previously; in addition all the aftermarket seat companies sell covers for ~ $40.00.

Check with Dave in California.

I bet that Dave could help you out... :thumbup:

I had a local guy repair my seat and reinforce all the seam areas. $100.

Without repairing the seams, a cover will just hide the issues. There are many aftermarket sheepskin covers that will do the job nicely.
I got mine from Alaska Leather--they do mail order.

Option 2: There are many OEM seats offered for sale. They are usually priced from $50 to $175 (fire sale to ouch). If you can find one local to pick up at fire sale prices, that would be my recommendation.

Shipping is a killer. My Corbin went to IL for the paltry sum of $223. That was ground rate. The new owner is glad that I covered everything above $100.

The best without going to a new seat is having it repaired and reinforced locally. In the end it will be cheaper and last longer. The difference with repacing the whole cover may not be that much and you will have a seat for years to come. They will know where to add the extra stitch or two....:thumbup:
