where do i buy this from? i have scoured ebay and only site i found w/ anything similar was Luimoto (sp?) but couldnt find THIS SPECIFIC seat wrap or whatever its called.
 
can someone point me in the right direction?
 
i am extremely interested in getting this done to my seat (not the passanger one though, just put the cowl on it). i think it looks sexy

search motocycle seat covers, and ya found the best ones. Another one which is alot cheaper but harder to install is custom seat creations (also on ebay). I got the ones I have from them for $25. The lumoto are sewn better, fit better, and you purdy much just have to staple em down. The CSC's front cover is just a piece of fabric cut to shape. Nothing sewn, and you end up with a subpar installation. Mine look good, but I aint happy with em lol.

luimoto is the best...i just put one on...search and you'll see the install....

i think the one you are look at is made by Second Look, but i believe they went out of business or do things sort of different now..i think 1tail.com actually stocks second look seat covers...i know they were real big when they were around....from what i can gather now...Luimoto is the top dawg in terms of seat covers...having one myself...i know why...

do a search for luimoto and see mine...EXCELLENT quality, fit, and finish!

also fyi...the covers aren't very cheap..but they fit great...also..for an additional $30...you can have a custom seat cover made...so if you show them that pic...they can make it for you....forgot to mention that...

the one i got was made initially for a 600rr, but they custom did it on an f4i template for me...turned out great

thanks ffingers, i saw yours and it looks great on your bike. i sifted through a bunch of pages on Luimoto's site and on ebay trying to find this and still cant. i'll check out 1tail.com real fast though.
 
thanks

if i remember right just the front seat cover from Luimoto was $45ish + shipping and like $95+shipping for both front n rear covers. And I believe you can pick the different sections colors from the colors they offer. And they do customs too.

thanks ooday...i appreciate the compliments...hopefully i can take some better pics of the bike and really show off how nice it is coming along...the pics i have now don't do it justice in my opinion...damn garage lighting...
 
as to jaynd...nope...that's not luimoto...that's a Second Look seat cover....i found it by searching for them and got none other than a post HERE on CBRFORUM...which is oddly enough a post i remember responding to that got me thinking about covers...how's that for ironic...
 
here is the thread link... http://www.cbrforum.com/m_395740/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm
