    Very well made and fits exactly. You will need a heavy duty stapler to attach it.

    have to add it's over a year old and used daily on my commute. The white bits clean up very well, the only downside is it's started to rip slightly (hardly noticable) where the front edge meets the tank.

    That looks awesome, even better than I thought it would. Just what I needed to know about the quality and fit, I think that has made my decision already, thanks for the super fast reply :)

    I assume the original seat is untouched underneath it?

    Well I cant believe this. The eBay estimated time of arrival was next Thursday or Friday, I purchased them yesterday and they arrived this morning! :D Now that is super impressive service. ;) Just have to try and get them fitted over the weekend now :D

    I used thumb tacks on the first fitting to get the cover nice and taut then used the staples. It can be a bit fiddly getting the staple gun into the contours but well worth it in the end

    Going to pick up an electric staple gun from argos in the morning, followed by a trip to b&q to pick up some 4mm and 6mm staples for it. Hopefully have it done tomorrow done unless I go out riding the bike ;)

    Right, job done :)

    Nice easy job really, helps if there are two of you, but also possible on your own. I used a cheapy Argos electric stapler, cost of £19.99 and some 6mm staples from B&Q at a cost of £4.53, perfect for the job, only took a few minutes to do and in my opinion has turned out to be a right professional looking job.

    Here are the results :)
