    where to buy seat cover vinyl?

    so i'm sending my torn up seat cover out to be replicated but i want something to sit on in the meantime.

    i could just try wrapping a contractor bag over the seat foam, but figured if i can get some inexpensive vinyl i'd just as soon try to slap some on and see if i can make it look a little less ghetto. any advice on where to purchase a chunk of this?

        If you ask that in The Village, you might just get a wink and a nod back at you

          I bought mine at Joann fabrics. It's a nice durable black marine vinyl.

            How slick did that stuff get in the rain? I think I'll try that out with my seat until I can get it recovered.

              I never used it for a motorcycle seat cover, so I can't comment on how it's like in the rain. But I suspect it will work just fine.

                It's marine vinyl so it'll hold up fine. Dunno how slick. I just bought some whatever vinyl last night for like $10 so mission accomplished. Haven't started trying to fasten it yet and it's not reinforced so my cover will probably be pretty loose and ugly,(scared to stretch too much) but it'll serve until a replacement is made. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

                  I bet unless you're riding nude it'll be fine. You're not riding nude, are ya?


                  Just thinking of boats I've been on. In trunks seats get a little slippery but really I wouldn't worry.

                    With my fat a$s I'd be scaring myself if I ever did that. Fortunately too, those crazy days are long behind me.

                      There are some cool textures to vinyls these days. I used to build my own guitar amplifiers and the cabinets are usually covered in tolex, which is just a trade name for vinyl. Mojotone.com sells various textured vinyls for covering guitar amps and speaker cabs and some are even in faux alligator skin. How cool would that be for a seat?
