JC Whitney Seat Covers

[jjwaller]

Hi Everybody:
Anybody have any experience with JC Whits replacement seat covers?
Have a tear in the one on the 78E, not to mention, the PO recovered it with an unribbed cover. Trying to get it back to more like stock. Looks like it's a Saddleman one I think. The part num is ZX061540Y.
Got the BigDog running good now, so it's time to do the cosmetics and luxury stuff.

Thanks

they are great for the money but they are a VERY tight fit!

Tried one once- was so tight it was impossible to put on- in fact it ripped at the seams in the attempt. Found an outfit in Texas that provided a cover with a perfect fit.

Interesting. wonder if they are sending the right part, like maybe from a 750/850? Have a contact for the texas outfit?
Thanks much

I've used a few on ATV's and my sons' bikes with no problems, it's best if you heat them in the dryer before installing them though.

Click on this link to a thread for that Texas outfit. I am VERY pleased with their product. There's a link to their website there.

I had one on my 80G and fit good and no problem to put on. Took it off because it was a little thicker than standard and legs were to short to flat foot on the ground. Just make sure you let it lay in a nice warm sun so the vynil will be soft and easy to stretch. It came with plenty of extra to trim off after putting it on the pan.

I have one on my MNS. It fit fine and looks ok.
