Title: seat cover for a ST1100 - pattern??
Post by: spanner on January 29, 2015, 10:58:00 AM
I am wanting to make a seat cover for my ST11 and was wondering if anyone has done their own?

If you have do you have a pattern that I could use? It is for the standard seat for the 1999 ST11.

Cheers Heaps,

I watched a professional seat cover maker prepare a pattern for my Yamaha XJR with it's non-standard seat.

He worked with a big sheet of clear plastic, pinning it on and around the bare seat.  He folded and marked the pleats in the plastic with a texta, and did the same on the plastic around the seat edge.    He cut out the pattern and traced around the edges onto the back of a sheepskin.  It was a prefect fit. 

He made it look VERY easy.

Now that's "thinking smarter not harder", I'll try and remember that trick.
