Hi All,
Anybody buy one of these replacement seat covers from old bike barn? I ordered one as it is on sale for $40. I'll let you know how it is when it comes but if anybody knows the suspense is killing me! Thanks MikeC
 
Lots of good stuff on that site, but didn't see a seat cover :icon_scratch:
 
Sorry Everyone,
I checked the link after I posted it and saw they discontinued it. I ordered it Sunday and apparantly got the last one. I called the Barn and they said they were hopeful to continue the seat cover service and are currently looking for a new material supplier. At least the site is useful.

this outfit has been talked about before for seat covers. have not done any business with them but wanted to list them here.

I got a seat cover from B & H for my V65. It looks stock, which is what I was looking for. Probably not the cheapest place you can find, but a quality product, from the looks of the one I purchased.

I don't know anything about their Kawasaki covers however. I did email them asking about how close it was to stock and they got back to me right away and said it was a replica of the original and if I wasn't happy I could return it. So, if you have any questions I would say ask them. I did call in fact on the phone and got the impression it was a pretty small shop.

B & H shows just over $100.00 for the ZL9 & ZL1

I think I paid $69.95 for my V65 but now it is up to $73.00 for that.

Seems kind of strange since the V65 has a bunch of stitching and the ZL9 really has none.
 
Well, the seat cover looks ok, not an exact match, but beter than I thought. Judge for yourself. Then the seat made the rest of the bike look like crap so... Got a weekend at work with the loader and 50 straight hours later...some pics. I did NOT take a before picture. Rookie documentor. I will attempt to post them here. I havent posted pics before so if this is too much, just let me know. I had before pics of the seat and wheels, but the phone pics are not uploading.

the seat cover looks like the original to me. I guess it's possible that you may not have had an oem seat cover from the start if you think this one doesn't look like the one you had.
 
Looks just like the original one on my ZL1....I would actually prefer a seat that didn't have the ribs on it...just a smooth...

Furchin has very nice looking seats on his ZL's....

Nice job on the bike...looks good...

Strictly in the FWIW column, I've ordered a replacement cover for my ZL600 from B&H(http://motorcycleseatcovers.com) and it should have shipped out yesterday. It'll be interesting to see how/if it matches the OEM cover that's on it now. .

I too think it's a very small shop, possibly even a home based business. Seem like really nice folk, been easy to communicate with.
