Hey Goldwing guys, I have saved myself a bunch of dollars doing the change myself, I gotta say I'm kinda proud of myself on this one, see I figured out a way to install these new seat cover so that even if you are not a craftsman you can install these with ease just like a pro , the littlebeaver way ha ha..... But I will post the photo's of this mod. tomorrow in the sun light...And I will post a how too on this tomorrow as well...But for starters here is the excellant site that I got the covers from on ebay, the price for the cover is 58.96 and shipping is free,,I'm done with my seat and it looks real nice, not just nice but real nice..Here's the site.. https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0460900165 If you guys have a bad seat cover man I gotta tell you with my help you will have it done with ease, other wise it's going to be a real pain in the ass..Well heck here are some photo's tonight anyway, why wait until tomorrow...View attachment 3View attachment 2View attachment 1 What I did was I used small washers to built the depth out a little and it also holds it well, now if you are smart which I know you are, you will screw it down well all the way around 100 percent about 2" apart, and you will need to pull like really hard in some places and hold it in place to screw it down, one person can do it with ease using miniscrews, Now when I had removed the old tired cover, I put down a big garbage bag and taped it down you can see the tape in the rear photo,,, the chrome pieces on the sides, be sure you mark the location of the holes because once the seat cover is applied you will need to find them. Mark them as a carpenter would mark a stud location with a black marker..I just pushed a small nail thru to locate were to put my studs for the chrome pieces, you gotta bend those straight to get them out and save the lock washer things, reshape them because they will be reused.. ..too easy guys....And if you guys want to go ahead and staple the material down now you can and remove the screws, but I just left the screw alone as is..Way too easy guys..I thought it was going to be hell...But doing it this way was actually fun and I'm quite proud of my work too and totally happy with the result..Really happy, Gotta new seat now.... Ok, here's the thing I hate doing things twice, if you staple these all down first, well lets just say it's easier to unscrew a screw than it is pulling a bunch of staples, use the screws first then staple if you want to staple... :fishin:
