The company make an EXO variant for use on boats thats supposed to be pretty tough, even resisting salt water but I'm not certain whether resisting and repelling are the same thing.
Unsure most times its used inside cars. Not outside as as its Ultrasude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcantara_(material)
Thanks guys...I'm going to make an alcantara gel seat for the blade, can't bear to part with £170+ for a Honda one, so I'll keep you all updated!
There's something very alcantara like on the old Ducati 749.If you do a good one I might give you a commission.
Ducati used a material but it wasn't alcantara as far as I know it was technosel or something like that. The project sound awesome Si keep us informed mate I will be very interested in this myself as been have similar thoughts.
I used to have alcantara seats on the Blade and if it rained they would soak up water . But they would dry out fairly quickly and didn't seem to be any the worse for wear
bit late on this .. My 206GTI had alcantara & leather seats . If my boy spilled juice on his seat it would soak up slowly but surly . Are you thinking of getting yours covered or buying a alcantara seat already made . Somebody on here has 1 already but i can't remember who it is . I think trey are a sunny sunday only seat .
Cool . Im searching for the 1 thats on here already . Black alcantara seat with red stitching . It was a purchased seat and I'm sure he said it was treated . Looked very tasty .. When i find the pic i will post a link here Si
I can't find the member or the thread with pics but i found what seat it was It is a purchased one by Mugen Very Nice
Yeah, that's a mugen alcantara seat. They are £500 just for the riders seat! I'm going to copy it mate. Will cost less than £50. £20 for a ripped s/h seat, £20 odd for an off cut of alcantara.
500 bucks ?? Jesus . Thats crazy . Take lots of pics and do a write up Si . Very interested to see the out come . I had a dable at doing the seat on my 600 but it was fair wether only and a bit in your face What do you think ? Ha Ha ha ha , I had so much stick i had to take it off lol
I loved that exhaust . Lol two Brothers , Very loud but it stuck out so far I could not hear it . ha ha
