    Default DIY custom seat for the bike:

    Well my bike had some old crappy seat.So I took the vinyl and the padding that was ripped all up off and recovered just the seat itself with a great material!.

    [Rep's to b17a1db2 for hooking me up with the adhesive!]

    YW, what material did you use? ever since i moved to Chicago i have put over 300 miles on my bike, I left both my cars back home in GA. I was looking at my seat a few days ago and was pondering how I could go about fixing it. Right now 1/4 of it is duck taped..lol

    I used an older "4H" bag.It seems to be a canvas type material very durable and stuck amazingly after the spray adhesive.I also used no foam plastic seat plus material nothing more.
