Cheap, home made seat cover
My wife and I made a seat cover for the ZZR600 to keep the seat protected from the sun and elements. I bought a pair of cheap ($10 pair), stretchy, embossed, chequer plate seat covers. Cut one in half and attached elastics. Bit of needlework and the job was done. I was hoping the design was wide enough to cover the width of the seat but now that its on I think it looks okay with the black sides. Not bad for a $5 seat cover. Will let you know how it looks after some punishment. What do you think?

Looks pretty trick mate.
Only question is, does it move arond underneath you when your riding hard?
I suppose you can always slip it off when your going for a fun ride.

It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.

You should see her when she's fired up.... can bend me into a pretzel.icebreaker wrote:Nice, she works wonders with Checker plate.. damn she must be strong
It's stretched very tight to the shape of the seat and has a thin foam backing. So far it doesn't move at all but I'll see how it is when I ride hard.mattyv74 wrote:Looks pretty trick mate.
