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?

You're gonna need a seat cover to stop the plating geting hot in the sun!
Nah, seriously... looks pretty neat.

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'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.
