Just got my N-Style graphics set and would like to know if there is a definitive method of applying the seat cover.
I have seen some applied and they look like the guy gave up half way through the job.
I need it to look A1

I would take the seat to an upholstry shop.
My friend did his own and a staple came through
poking a hole in the cover and his leg.

Poke[/quote PokenHOOD ive fitted two setts of the n style start by fitting the rad panels if you cut a strip from the backing betweewn the two holes it lets you line up then peel off the backing a bit like fitting a elastsaplst if that makes any sense,put them somewere warm to soften the feckers up helps :? i you need to do the same with the seat cover airing cupboard to make it more friendly its in the lap of the gods if you get the seat to line up :shock: i found it best to measure from the bottom of the tank to say the black line on the graphics then fit the cover then measure from the seat base were it lines up with the tank, take your time here i and dont over stretch the cover or the stitching gives up as i found out any how good luck dude :D
 
Poke, did you order your cover direct from the US, or is there a place in the UK I can get hold of one?

Thanks
Geoff

When i fitted mine, i used my wifes hairdryer :oops: to soften it up, put some adhesive on the underside of the seat base to help give it a key, then starting at the front of the seat, first stretched the black vinyl all the way round the base till it can only just be seen, using the hair dryer,then stapled it in place.Once that was done i worked my way along the seat, getting it really quite hot and soft with the dryer before applying max pull on the cover before stapling it in place.If you use the black vinyl at the front and back as markers for the stretch limit, you wont go far wrong, it'll stretch far enough so you can only see the very edge of it front and back.Take care making the hole for the bolt!!
Good luck,
Goose
