I wanna cut a hole in my seat. I read this thread that HoHey posted a while back which has step by step pictures on how he did it. He removed the vinyl or whatever it is from the seat and foam and cut the hole as you can see in the link below. Just curious if most of you did it that way or can you still have a decent looking hole cut out if you dont remove that stuff and just cut from the bottom and then through the vinyl? Appreciate any feedback from those of you who did it

i took the stock seat cover off, cut the foam, cut the seat pan...

measured new vinyl to match the stock seat cover. matched it up and cut hole out of new vinyl to match the seat hole.

Then i took extra vinyl and sowed around the hole in the new vinyl. And put it all on

 

So if I wasnt gonna use new vinyl, should I still remove whats on the seat like hohey did and then put it back on. I think it would come out cleaner looking doing it that way but wasnt sure how most people did it

 

i used new vinyl. Marine vinyl, like they use for boat seats.

 

gotcha but im saying if i just use the same **** thats on my seat now, i should probably take it off anyway to get a nice clean hole and get the existing material in there good?

 

Eh my seats are lookin haggered anyway so maybe Ill pick some new material up to redo them *****.

 

if you dont redo it, the way I did mine was to measure out where I wanted to cut the hole out and cut v's into the middle if the square from corner to middle, corner to middleand folded the flaps in afterwards

 

oo and I didnt remove my foam separatly I just used the original hole my seat had on the bottom in the middle and jabbed a dremmel blade in and went to work on the foam and plastic in one shot

 

Word. Good lookin. Just trying to get different opinions. I never really looked at your seat to see how nicely it was done. I just dont want my **** fallin apart after a few weeks. Id like the vinyl to stay put and not be rippin out

 

my seat kinda looks like doo doo till I actually do the **** nice youll see it the next time we are out

 

on my old R1 i didnt take my seat apart , just cut through the foam,cut a X in the material and then glued in back together

 

**** that hole looks a little narrow like your foot might get stuck I like the glue though holding the vinyl down.

 

Mine looks like **** but I don't care

 

Btw if you wanna cover it cheap and SUPER EASY, pick up some fabric form a fabric store

like $1-$2 in fabric is plenty for your seat, and fabric stretches super easy, plus then you can change the color monthly if you want

Vinyl defintiely looks dope.. But I can't sew (sp?) and I didn't think I could do a good job with vinyl, so I just always throw fabric on mine

Aye I do'nt have ANY good pics of mine when it was done in fabric.. But heres a shitty picture when it was dirty

 

^ That tire is poo poo

 

 

Hmmmm fabric. Good idea and should be easier like you said.

 

If thats the tire I remember it being (the 190 harley tire)

then that tire I burned out daily on for BLOCKS AND BLOCKS for over 3 months.. I pulled it off and STILL put it back into my spare tire pile!

But yes, it was garbage. Thats the reason I went down in a turn at 55, just felt it slide out from under me


If that is the tire I'm thinking of, I got a stack of 4 of them in the garage

 

How do you get grip on that tank? Its probabaly one of the worst dents ive seen haha. no offense

 

Fur it out!
