Default New seat

Installed my new covers today.
I wont say I'm super impressed but they are an improvement over stock. The quality is ok but not great. They were cheap though so you get what you pay for. When I ordered them, the price dropped to 50 Euros when I hit the "submit order" button.

I see what you are saying - the fit seems a little big, are these applied over the stock cover or replacing the stock cover? If they were more taught I think they would be completely bad ***, regardless they still look good.

THey fit over the stock ones. I plan on re-doing the fit once I have put on some miles and broken them in.

I'm not really a fan. It's all in the fit. I like the simplicity of the plain black seats.

Not sure why, they are just covers over the stock seat. Actually have a little more padding. They are plenty comfortable.

They dont look that great to be honest the fitment looks extremely off...

Does the extra fabric and everything get in the way or it just works fine? How snug does it fit?

It fits better now I have used it. Just before I put it away for the winter I re-did them.
Pulling them tight enough is the tricky bit. I needed an extra pair of hands.
Come spring I will re-post the pictures.

They were not that expensive so if they don't work out, so be it.
