Stainless steel staples (height 6mm)

Flat screwdriver

(2) Tools optional

Foam spray adhesive

Fabric scissors

Strong glue

Permanent marker

(3) Safety first

For the assembly you will need a sturdy stapler and staple clamps, we recommend to wear safety goggles! For areas that are hard to access with the stapler, use a temperature-resistant strong glue, the manufacturer's recommendations for safety apply. Avoid skin contact and eye contact! We will not be liable for injuries and / or damage to your seat during the assembly!

(4) Remove the old cover

Remove the staples of the old cover on the bottom of the seat with a flat headed screwdriver. Remove the old seat cover and allow the original foam to dry.

Unpack the new cover and spread it out. Leave it at room temperature for a while!

(5) Mark optional

For easier alignment of the new cover, mark the center of the seat and the bottom of the cover with a permanent marker.

(6) Preperation I optional

The fabric is relatively stiff when it comes out of the original packaging. Therefore, warm up the underside of the new cover with a hot air blower (alternatively use a hair dryer) to make the material smooth. Move the stream of air over the surface of the material, do not heat in one place for too long! Constantly check the temperature and the material of the seat cover!

CAUTION: High temperature and heat in one place for too long can damage the material!

(6) Preperation II optional

For easier alignment, spray the seating area of the foam and the inside of the seat cover with spray adhesive and carefully place the seat cover on the seat. Place the end of the seating area on the corresponding position on the foam (arrow). The center of our seat cover is marked on the inside with a I.

Use a spray adhesive suitable for FOAM to not damage the seat foam and to ensure that you are able to correct of the position of the seat cover during the installation!

(7) Start

If you have put the seat cover in position with spray adhesive, you can now simply turn the seat carefully. Otherwise, proceed as follows.

Place the new cover on a clean surface and place your seat on top. Align the new cover with the center of your seat. Make sure the front and the end of the seat is in the desired position on the original foam and proceed with step 8.

(8) Front and back

Fasten the new cover to the front and back with staples, tighten the cover only moderately. If you have an adjustable tacker, first try out a low tension and increase it if necessary!

(9) Sides

Tension the side surfaces tightly and always secure the cover with staples. If necessary, loosen staples again to correct the tension.

(10) Inaccessible places optional

Use strong glue in places that you can´t reach with the stapler. Follow the instructions of the glue manufacturer.

(11) Corners optional

If your seat has corners or other narrow radii to be covered, proceed as follows. Pull the seat cover over the corner and the edges and mark the contour of the edge of the seat on the inside of the seat cover. Now cut triangles into the fabric in the area of the corner, staying about 1-2cm away from the marked edge. Now you can put the individual trapezes on top of each other in the area of the corner and staple one after the other!

(12) Final assembly

If you are satisfied with the seat cover position and the tension of the seat cover, fix the new cover evenly with staples. Cut off excesses, DO NOT cut through seams. Optionally, you can also glue excesses to the underside of the seat with strong glue!

(13) Finished

In front of you is your self-installed seat, ready for many comfortable hours on your motorcycle.

(14) Coating

If you plan to take regular trips in the rain, or if the parking space is not covered, it is recommended to coat the seat with a synthetic resin suitable for artificial leather. Do not use oily products!
