I've got a 450R and need to replace my aftermarket seat cover I have now. I was looking at the Quad Tech Hump Seat cover but not real crazy about $170 for it. I'm just looking for something that is solid black with a little grip to it and a decent price as well as quality. You guys got any recommendations on any quality seat covers. Thanks!

Les, we each have a seat like yours. I like the http://www.htmoto.us/ guys sight. I can get 2 for the price of one. That will be great if they last longer than one season.

Sunco, I like the looks of the 450R seat they have for the 06-08 model. It's black on black...looks pretty nice. How are you getting 2 for 1???

the kid above posted, said he got 2 for 125. Pappy's dude starts at 110 for one. You didn't want a pay 170 for a seat so for the 125 for two that sound good to me. I gotta show them to flyboy when he gets back from the fair. Sunday was great riding after 11am

gotcha. I didnt go back and read all the posts. I think I'm going to order one this week. My cover didnt even make it one season before the stitches blew out.

Man I wanted to come back up on Sunday so bad but I had a bit of a hangover:devil: :blah: :blah: Did you guys get rained out on Saturday when I was leaving??

It only lasted a little bit - we rode more. You packed up in time. Sunday it rain for about 3 hrs( 6-9 am) - we said lets leave - we packed up & drove away only to see the clouds were breakin up - we went to the Bedford fair but they didn't open till noon so we went & had breakfast at the landslide in town & went back to the track by 11am. So glad we went back - we stayed till 7-730. Feelin great - now we need to mx out both our quad. SEND MORE MONEY MOM !!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE :D

I got mine today Sunco. I'm actually pretty happy with the looks of this thing. The quality looks pretty good as well especially for the price of 65 shipped for a custom seat cover. Got it in about a week from the day I ordered.

I went with the black gripper and the black carbon fiber on the sides.

Thanx, Looks great. Got an email, ours should be here on friday. I got one for an 04 & my 07. Found a deal on another 07, so I bought it. Not sure how different the two are. I know we switch seats from time to time. Might have to sell the 04 w/ a new seat cover :(

The boys & I just got back from Hatfield McCoys trails. Drove 9 hours on Sunday, stayed in Logan (Holiday Inn) Monday road Rockhouse down to Gilbert & back. Tuesday we went & rode the trail back at the visitors center. We were on trail #18 , I must have missed the marker & found we came back out on US 119. We hammered down on the highway for 1.5 miles :eek: (I check it in my truck when we were headed back to Logan. Drove home all Wednesday - here I am back @ work. Thanx for the pix on the seat. TTYL

Trent thanx for the tip on the seat covers. Les wouldn't have had to tug on it if you did tell him :D or me either for that matter. I haven't tugged mine yet, but I sure am looking forward to it :D

I have to do it twice :devil:
