I'd be a wee bit concerned about paying big bucks for 40 year old vinyl... It certainly wouldn't be as durable as a recently made cover.
I wonder what a vintage pack of smokes would go for? :lol:
But then again, probably it will end up on some trailer queen that never gets sat on anyway! :thumbdown:

:shock: You know what, it could well be! I always thought it was a S1 seat and when I checkd it I found it was H1 . . . so quite possibly :thumbup:


Yes that was advertised as a NOS S1 seat several years ago. I won the auction for it at $230 but turned out to be H1 Seat. Luckily you had one to swap with me....

I'm just bitter because I had a pristine KH400 seat but after 1 season of riding, the vinyl split up the seam... Really a shame there isn't a provider that is willing to make replica's... Hint fricken hint!!! :P

My original H2 seat cover failed at the silly waffle pattern lines that were put in by melting the vinyl. That was before it was 6 years old.

Duct tape worked for a while. :lol: Then I made a cover from unpatterned vinyl I got at a fabric shop. That one is 34 years old and still fine.
