Heck. I'm gonna try one of them. I was gonna get a recover anyway. Gotta be black. Not like I can screw it up.

Thanks for the post. I'd no idea such a product existed.

Wow, those black and red seats look sooooo good, imagine that there are probably guys out there with all black seats that would fall all over themselves at the chance to trade for their all black...

Are there any solid black GSA seats out there?
My red seat was modified in order to allow for front seat mount lift above the high setting (super tall here), had to remove the front seat taps without any usability/function restrictions...

How does it hold up over time, leg rubbing against it etc? Anyone tried it before?

klondike1 · 11-04-2012, 02:18 PM

That's why asked for pics to kind of see the before and after

scooteraug02 · 11-04-2012, 02:22 PM

Now figure out how to press GS into the seat.

Hi: In my case after looks just like before, having said that I only put 4k miles on the bike in the summer.
I've washed the seat a couple times and nothing came off, the paint bonded very well with the original vinyl.

Got any more info on your cylinder guards?
