'87 Seat Cover

[mark4Jesus]

I have searched but cannot find an answer, probably overlooked it. I have an '87 seat and the foam is in great shape, but the cover is tearing. Where can I get a good replacement cover that will fit this seat. I have found some, Saddleman, but they do not look like they have the correct shape.

I buy Gl1200 replacement covers from joemama1931, an EBay vendor, in Piggot Arkansas. Pick the color and they make them quickly and ship them out. I have no complaints about their work.

I got the Saddleman for my 81. The picture in the ad was deceiving, but in the end, it is a perfect match to the stock look.

Thanks guys, I will look at both.

I was looking at joemama (gotta love the name) and the seat covers look like they are for 84-86, not 87. I will contact them and see if they make them differently for 87's.

Contacted joemama and they said they only make one type of cover. There is enough difference between '87 seats and the other seats I am not sure it will work. Anyone use joemama's covers on an '87 seat?

I expect it will probably tighten to fit but if not you can add a layer of foam in places.

That may be what I have to do. I cannot find any covers that resemble the shape/style of the '87 seat. The '87 seat is much more comfortable to me, so I don't want to do anything to alter the shape. I have seen some covers that are meant to be placed over the existing cover and not replace it. They look like they are velour or some other fabric.

How about a couple of pics of your seat?

Here a couple of pictures.

Looks just like the seat on my 84. Looks like this will give you the same shape and a bit cleaner look.

That is a sharp looking cover, thanks!

Anyone ever get a cover from B&G Cycle Upholstery? They have some nice looking covers also.

So far I have not needed a seat cover so I'm unable to vouch for any vendor. I will point this out though. Enough marine grade vinyl to recover the seat yourself is likely going to cost $40 or more. About 8 years ago I did recover my old KZ bench seat myself with vinyl and the material alone cost $30.
