issue with new seat cover

[trevor]

A couple of weeks ago I had my new seat cover from Reproduction Decals installed by professionals and after riding 300kms yesterday with my wife on the back there was this line or crease where we were sitting. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks,

Trevor,
That could be the result of a couple of things.
There could be an indention in the foam and after riding it, the cover took the shape of the foam. That foam needs to be full and complete otherwise little imperfections start appearing on the seat cover.
Or it could be a crease memory mark left in the cover from being folded in half while being shipped.
I had an indention on appear on mine, I think it might have been from having a screwdriver in my back pocket while I was riding it. I'm not really sure how it got there, but I took a hair drier to it and it disappeared.
In cooler weather that foam gets harder and doesn't expand as much as it would in warmer weather.
My GS1100 seat get fairly hard in temps of about 60 and less, not a bad as sitting on a board but you get the picture, think of it as a dried out sponge.

Agree with Sedelen, that is is a memory mark from being folded during shipping. Some time out in the hot sun might make it go away. Usually I think they try to "iron" them out a little before putting them on. Could also not be stretched tight enough. I think it will go away in time though
