F800GS - Where can I find a red seat, seat cover or seat cover material?

[vanandy]

Hi
I'm thinking of repainting me F800GS (bored to death with Grey) and I'm after a red seat, I'm pretty gutted as I just missed out on the said item on ebay.
Waiting for another to pop up I'm thinking a cover, looking around seat covers are loadsamoney from USA (nice item) or have to buy horrible red vinyl.
Anybody know where I can get a similar material?; textured nylon????
Anybody got a red seat for sale? Swop for a black item?
Happy Crimbo

Having another look, looks like carbon fibre effect vinyl would work, just need to locate some or visit an upholsters.....if a seat don't show up that is.

Cheers Bayman, just checked out there website, lots of Vinyls; basket weaves, carbon fibre, ribbed, metal flakes, leather grains, suede's etc. as well as faux animal skins including snake, crocodile and ostrich.
I'll drop them a line.

Could try Tony Archer, he's been doing this sort of thing for a long time. Very good quality work. Check his web page.
