duncan racing graphics ?

[casey_lamm]

Anyone have a pic of there bike with duncan racing graphics and seat. The one on their website doesn't quite give the detail im looking for.


How do you like the kit?
Does it hold up?

How is the seat cover?

How hard is the seat cover and the graphics to install.

there is one on my 400 but i think it is an older kit. it was on there when i got it.

not bad...i got the red one... im hoping the seat isnt too difficult to put on. I may take it to a pro if It doesn't go on easy. I have seen some pretty crappy seat cover self installs.

Installing a seat cover is easy. The poor installs are usually because intaller was in too big of a hurry. Here is the method I use after the old seat cover is removed. It is best to work with the cover when it is warm and flexible. Just put it out in the sun for a bit. Also, some will say you need an electric staple gun. I just use a Stanley hand powered staple gun with 1/4 inch staples. Just press down firmly when firing a staple.

1. Hook the seat cover over the front of the seat.
2. Stretch the seat cover over the remainder of the seat
3. Staple the seat cover at the back of the seat using a few staples. Put a staple in the middle of the back and the left and right rear. These will probably be removed in step #5
4. Go back to the front of the seat and begin stretching and stapling the seat cover around the front and down the sides. Make sure you keep the cover centered on the seat. Also, work slowly and put your staples close together. I staple about every 1/2 inch
5. When you have worked your way to the rear of the seat you will probably have some slack in the cover. So, pull the staples out at the rear of the seat (the staples from step #3)
6. Stretch the rear of the cover over the rear of the seat and put the final staples in.
7. Now go back an trim the excess cover off so it doesn't bunch up under the seat. Don't trim too close to the staples or they will pull out. I usually leave around 3/4 of an inch of the cover.

Follow these instructions and take your time and you will have a nice looking seat cover that doesn't have wrinkles and slack in it.

Good luck.

I returned your PM.

Yes the plastic part will wrap under as well. This part doesn't really "stretch" but it should wrap under the seat and staple underneath like the rest.
