Seat Covers

Post by LocoParaHonda »

Anyone have a good source for seat covers? I want to get one that will look at least somewhat similar to the factory seat. I have a 85 Honda Aero 50, and I've been told the seat is discontinued.

The foam I have on my seat is good, it just has some poorly sealed up tears/scratches on it and it's the wrong color. eBay has some, but they only have black seats. I have to have red for the color/paint scheme I'm planning.

B&H Specialties is the only place I've found. Any one else have success/good prices, etc elsewhere?

They don't sell seat covers at fabric stores that I'm aware of.

If your talking about buying fabric to make your own seat cover - emphasis on my statement that I want a seat cover that looks as close to "factory" as possible. I'm not bad with a sewing machine, but still, I doubt anything I attempt to sew on my own would look anywhere near professional quality.

ok i finally got around to posting how to recover a seat by yourself. Sounds liek your afraid you won't do a good job, but trust me its very very easy. didnt mention that i boutj 3x as much ninyl as i needed (was very cheap 10$ if i remember correctly) but it turned out so good on my first attempt that i didnt need the extra i bought for 2nd and 3rd attempts.

heres my post on how to do it:
