The ones from old mate in thailand are pretty good, as is his service.

I just ordered one from oem replica on eBay.

I asked for a gripper and Yamaha logo and he was real cool and said "yep no worries it will take 3 days for production and then I will airmail it to you"

Can't ask for more than that 45usd shipped.

It should arrive next week.

I bought 2 of the covers from the guy in Thailand. They were a bit short and were a bugger to fit around the sides of the seat. They did fit however after a bit of stretching. I sent the guy an email and had a bit of a whinge, to his cedit he changed the template and added a couple of CM's to the width then sent me to new (and improved) covers for free. This was great as my son had a get off the first time out with the new (first) cover fitted and tore the seat on another guys lever.

I recently found a site (I know you guys probably knew of it...  :-\ ) that sells foams and covers for a lot of models.

They also have the "gripper" style ones.

The site is [/url]http://www.dcvmx.com[/url]

I am going to use them soon... I believe Shawn from HEAVEN club did recently but havent heard how good they are as yet.

Absolutely only use Mario at Topline Upholstery in Seaford Vic if you can. Great bloke, top workmanship, and good value. It is a waste of time and money to buy aftermarket covers and fit them yourself instead of using Mario's skills.
Cheers, Grahame
