Nice article. Just finished shaving my seat. Took a lot off it and it looks good. Just wanted to add a tip. If you are having a hard time getting the covering back on, or having trouble with an air pocket in the crtotch area. A carefull mix between the spray adhesive(super 77) and a heat gun will help. Heat the covering up so it is very flexible, glue it, then keep pressure on it until it tries. Be patient and let it dry before you take pressure of it. Good Luck.

Yeah, that's what I used; Super 77. It looks good now that it's been used a bit. Steve, post your pics.

to keep your nuts from hitting the tank b.c of sliding forward on the seat. it holds you in place better when you shave the seat.

Make sure you use a power staple gun (not a hand-held one...)

A hand held one won't punch the staple through the thick (nylon I think it is?) base, unless I just have a weak old staple gun...

But any power staplgun should work fine (I was concerned that the power one might be TOO powerfull so I started off with a manuel one...)
