GSXR Seat Repair / Wrapping

It's not often that you will have to wrap your own seat unless your bike is extremely old or sits outside where it is exposed to the harsh weather elements.

In this diy tutorial I show you how to repair your worn and tattered seat cover and replace it with any material of your choosing. Unlike traditional seat coverings, I chose to wrap my seat in a black spandex material purchased from my local Joann’s craft store.

Aside from this material being extremely easy to work with, it also provides great venting and cooling properties underneath your rear that traditional marine grade vinyl materials lack. Every get off your bike and have a wet ass crack line on your pants, yeah this material will do away with that embarrASSing moment while also helping with keeping your butt firmly planted in the seat during extreme launches, something I was struggling with being only 150 lbs.

Don't pay high upholstery prices when you can do it yourself for $13 worth of material cost and about 30 minutes of your time. If you’re lacking a pneumatic stapler you can pick one up at Harbor Freight for or Amazon for about $30 to get the job done for a total project cost of $45-$50.
