Title: HT Moto seat covers....opinions?
Post by: 118811 on February 06, 2012, 06:45:20 PM
Hello,
Just finished shaving a seat down & ready to cover it.

Came across this company HT Moto...they have an incredible selection of vinyls to choose from & very nice custom designed seat cover for Monster's....at least IMHO!!

Anyone have experience with this company...opinion's?

That cover was designed for a DMF'er  [thumbsup]

Good reviews and quite affordable.

I can't say for sure, but believe these covers are for the newer seat even though they list it as '93 - '04.

If your seat is shaved a lot, you will have to stretch and fiddle to cover it nicely...

the vinyl on my seat was dying so I took to my local shop and asked for it to be recovered.  They used HTMoto and I think it looks absolutely amazing.

The picture on the website is actually my seat, it was the first one they'd done, but here are some close ups.

I picked the CF vinyl and non-slip vinyl, both black, altho the non-slip has a little more of a matte finish to it.  i wanted it to look 'kind of' stock, with a dash of zazz.  If you go to the website, you can pick the color and material for each panel, from a pretty extensive list.

after riding on it for two years, it still looks brand new, except for a few spots where I put holes in it due to poor placement of saddlebag bungie cords.

My suggestion is to not get the non-slip down the center.  I thought it would keep me from sliding forward into the tank, but all it really does is grip my jeans/pants really well while my legs slide forward.  My pants end up bunching up.  Not so big a deal if you wear leathers all the time I think.

Mine was the first one they did, so they had my seat the whole time they worked on it so I can't attest to installing just the cover alone.  I was pretty happy with the price, the look, and the wide array of fabric and thread colors.

Yeah, I like that seat but but since I shaved my seat so much I have decided to have it covered locally by a Pro.  I am us the Alcantera (fake suede, blk ) seat and the sides and rear with black carbon fiber with red stiching.  I really like the HTMoto seat but was scared how the fit would be after my modification. ???
