seat covers
« on: August 29, 2007, 08:51:37 am »
Has anyone got info on the seat covers available in usa and europe? the old forum had a lot of good info on this, Dennis was chatting to me this morning and he also remembers a guy inj Italy that did KTM seats? i have the dammed safety seat on the 83 KTM 495 and I can't find ready made covers. Last resort would be to get one made up.

Tony - have a look for VMXR I think it is on Ebay US - I have bought three seat covers from him for various projects.  Good covers, good price and reliable seller.  He has a small web site but cant remember the address because I usually buy through Ebay.  Not sure if he has what you want.

Also my brother, Ian, (if he reads this) may add the name of a place in NZ that does seat covers.  I will try and chase that for you as well.

Can anyone else elaborate?
