Try your local upholsterer,my guy has the gripper type material & makes the covers as needed,I recently had him do my modern,gave him the seat & a couple of days later it was all new again :)

G'day Paul.
I got a plain cover and a new foam from les at vmx unlimited, it came up a treat,my 125d doesn't have enough power that you need one. Hope to see you on the heaven grid this year,we were a bit short on numbers last year with me and Noel the only 125 regulars in our class

you're probably better off being able to move around more on a 125.

I think les rich ;D gets some of his seat covers from a mob in NZ, they do gripper seat covers as well to suit old bikes.
The kiwi mob always has there covers on ebay, smebikes is his ebay store ,and name on there is nikau sorry dont know how to post the link.

I will be there !!

I am pumped looking for things to do before it starts.

I have never raced before just watched my son go at it!

Anyway got to start sooner rather than later.

I met Noel out at nepean last year. Great guy

You reckon ?
Felt funny when I 1st rode the bike but you are right I did get used to it.
I thought it was a must but I am happy to take any advise.

Paul are you riding the 125 still ?

Hey Paul
Best advice,brand new tires and ride it like you stole it,just make sure to give racing it a go,might surprise yourself,Noel's a pretty hard racer as well as a good bloke
