Well i got the carbon material i wanted to redo my seat today. Well me being me, i wanted to do it myself, so i did. Ofcourse i did it on my rear seat just in case i mess up i can still ride this weekend. lol well i dont want to brag, but it turned out 100% perfect. I picked a blk carbon color so its not a drastic change but it sure looks nice for 1.5 hours of work and $10. ($20 to do both seats) I will be doing my other seat tomorrow, i cant wait. It will be easier that the rear cause it dont have the big drop off in the front like the rear seat did.

I would put something in diy but i dont want people to do it the way i did.

I used ordinary staple gun heat from stove (ok laugh) and contact cement for the strap part of the rear seat, which turned out to be the hardest part errrrrrrrrrrr.

here are some pics

Gotrice looke sweet man, sorry I couldnt come through in time 4 ya, but hey you got it now and it came out nice

 

sweet looking seat there gotrice. Looks really good

 

WOW, I gotta have that... That looks totally COOL..

What exactly do you call that material...It can't be the real raw 'Carbon Mesh' material they use to layup/mold CarbonFiber sheets/parts.. That would be some itchy splinters in the ****..


what's the name and where did you get it??.. UFO?

CARBON ON EBAY

This is where i got my stuff from. u get enough to do about 3 seats. fast shipping

 

that's a cool link there gotrice wonder what my bike would look like with some blue carbon fiber look on it.

 

thats what i want 056r to get on his bike. If i still had my orange bike i would have gotten the orange carbon for my seat.

 

I'll just have to wait and see how 056r's seats come out. I think it would look sweet.
