What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

[Gone in 60]

I got brave. Superbird came with a Shad seat when I bought her. Comfy, but a bit too theatrical for this kind of bike with different types of vinyl, silver trim and white top stitching. This is a purposeful bike, not a showboat.

I found a cheap stock seat from a local guy parting out a bike with a dead DCT. The stock seat is plain black pattered vinyl with no frills. Not the comfiest thing but styled to the bike’s purpose.

Since I’ve been doing amateur recovers on the BMW work bikes, I decided to tackle the Shad driver seat. A-1 Foam and Fabric has a bewildering array of vinyls, and I found one that’s a close match for the stock seat, important as I might not want to redo the rear seat. 

Not as stretchy as I’d like and there are two slight ripples I couldn’t massage out doing a one-piece cover with a simple stapler, but I think I can live with the result.

I'm filled with admiration, Gone. Were I to try that it would look like the ocean in a rising breeze!

Well, now you're just showing off. That's darn nice.

Aww, if I can do it with some vinyl sheet and a hand stapler, anyone can.

Thank you, sir. If you could see the unevenly cut vinyl and random staple placement on the underside, you may not be so kind.
But, that being said, I just couldn't abide the wrinkles and reworked the front a bit to try to smooth them out. And, I went ahead and did the Shad rear seat, knowing that the slight mismatch in the patterns would eventually bug me.

Had some fun late yesterday, filming some promotional video of our delivery services, and the benefits of using a service that can cut through L.A. traffic. 
They're editing the video and pics now, and sent me this one.

It's been almost 12 months since I bought* my Kawi, and today I crossed the 12,000 kms mark

Hey PB, how many months has it been since you learned to spell? or is that the Canadian version…

Is that the stock key? That is one cool key!


Disclaimer: PB and I mess with each other. All in fun. He will get revenge…

It's a key cover from Aliexpress
