HOW TO RESTORE A MOTORCYCLE SEAT EASILY .

[@TT.Hell.]

Thanks

[@mxracinguy5993]

Just wanted to say thanks for showing us how to reupholster a motorcycle seat. Just did one from a 22 year old bike I just bought where the seat was cracked up badly. Yours was the only video I watched and didn't see the need to watch any others. Followed your tips and the seat turned out excellent, no creases. Hopefully the cheap vinyl I got from Amazon will last a while, although it seems pretty thin. Oh I did buy a heavy duty stapler kit locally, similar to yours but was just 11 bux on sale. A must in order to get the staples through the hard plastic. Again, thanks for this great instructional video. You saved me a good amount of money.

Windy, I’ve been watching dozens of seat refurb videos as I create a new custom seat for my BMW. Your re-covering video is by far the best one I’ve seen. Thank you so much. Regards from the UK.

[@TT.Hell.]

This is the best video on this topic! Now I feel more confident fixing my own seat.

[@javiersamaniego5167]

Thanks for this video ! I was gonna spend a lot of money buying the 2 seats but now I’m gonna do it my self thanks to your shareable knowledge! God bless you!

[@windyurtnowski]

GLAD THE INFO WAS USEFUL AND NOW YOU HAVE A NICE SEAT.

[@windyurtnowski]

CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW ON THE A TEAM.

[@abrahamrampatla7227]

I just did a good job following your guidance.. all went well and just a bit of energy needed for stretching but at the end the results are so amazing... Now the seat for my ZZR1200 looks like nee! Thanks so much keep up the good work 😊😊😊

[@coryvader2133]

Windy, just wanted to say I discovered your channel the other day and your motorcycle repair/restoration tips are excellent. Love your channel. I just bought a 97 Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunderace needing total resto and customization. Your channel is helping my knowledge base and am getting stoked to start on the project. Please keep up the great work and you have great taste in bikes. Great collection.

[@AndrewOhsberg]

I followed this tutorial and successfully recovered my seat. Thank you!

[@SlipperyJack60]

This is great. I've got a question..... how come the 3/8" staples don't come through the base of the seat and out through the vinyl on the outside? I'm sure that there's a simple explanation, it's just that I'm extra simple.

[@keachbarry819]

Hi Windy, I just reupholstered my motorbike seat with the help of your video! Looks good as new! Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to make this.

[@StefanBlurr]

Hi! Can you tell me what material did you use, please?

[@windyurtnowski]

GOOD QUESTION MAYBE THE FOAM IS THICK ENOUGH ???? MAYBE THE BASE IS THICK ENOUGH TO CONTAIN THEM ??? EASY TO FIND OUT PULL OUT ONE AND SEE IF IT COMPRESSED ??? COULD BE ANY COMBINATION OF THESE.

[@gregorius911]

Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot, how to procede to restore the seat of my BMW F650GS 2005. Looks as new now. Kind regards from Belgium

[@thomasbaker3249]

Thank you for tutorial. I am working on similar seat . Would this technique work the same way on leather?

[@windyurtnowski]

WE HAVE A NICHE FOLLOWING FOR SURE. TO HAVE A MASS APPEAL CHANNEL I WOULD HAVE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE SUBJECTS INTO BIGGER MARKETS BUT I LIKE OUR SMALL AUDIENCE FOR THE PASSION WE SHARE.

[@windyurtnowski]

THEY DO MAKE AFTERMARKET ONES LIKE THE ONE ON THE GS1100E WE DID A VIDEO ON.LOOK UP THAT VIDEO SEARCHING GS1100E SEAT COVER REPLACEMENT AND I DO THINK THAT COMPANY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP.

[@kathytaylor7580]

Okay so just followed your video and recovered my Funduro seat and turned out great. And FYI this is more of a four hour project for a novice :} but we got it done and it looks and feels great. Thanks for the great video.

[@tominmo8865]

Very informative! I like the discussion about the different staple types as well. At about 16:00, it looks to me that it would have been easier overall to start at the middle of the seat, just where it slopes down and forward, work your way to the front part, then go to the rear part. I think that would have resulted in a lot less need to use preliminary staples, and later on remove them.

[@windyurtnowski]

GLAD IT HELPED,I will be doing an FZR SEAT RECOVERY in next few days,stay tuned for it,more good info.

[@howardrichman-s5g]

I'm reupholstering a banana shaped seat now. I've got the various densities of foam to make a perfect seat I've bought a yard of Marine grade stretch vinyl and am trying to do just as your doing on seat in discussion. I'm using a hair dryer to soften vinyl. I find it impossible to get the job done as you have done on this video. I've applied much heat, muscle and patience w/ no good results. Th e contours of this seat is similar to the seat you've done. I'm wondering if I'm using a 2 way and need a 4 way stretch fabric.

[@windyurtnowski]

SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED STRETCHABLE VINYL,I got mine in Joanns Fabric. Some does not stretch and some does. I got some made for boats and it was very thick and hard to get wrinkles out.TRY JOANNES stretchable vinyl and it should be fine.BEST OF LUCK.

[@windyurtnowski]

RECOVERING A SEAT IS LOW BUCKS AND EASY.IT MAKES A NICE UPGRADE FOR OLDER BIKES.

[@luizdejardin4432]

Excellent tips, nice and professional, thanks a looot!

[@windyurtnowski]

IT IS STRETCHABLE VINYL,20 BUCKS A YARD FROM MICHAEL'S OR ANY CRAFT STORE,NICE UPGRADE FOR ANY BIKE WITH WORN SEAT.

[@mistahews]

Yes, stretching and stroking is great to get the wrinkles out of some things. Thanks for the video.

[@windyurtnowski]

MAYBE THIN LEATHER IF YOU COULD HEAT AND STRETCH?????

[@zijinzhou167]

Thank you so much for making this vedio, I just rebuild my CB400's seat today. Very good veido btw

[@jbean530]

Wow! I really need this for my bicycle. I also want to improve my motorcycle seat. Very good.

[@jamestate858]

Just replaced the vinyl on my motorcycle with my dads help. Since our handheld stapler wasnt working we used an air tool version. Highly recommend if you have an air compressor, so much easier. It looks amazing and you've made my day with this video. Thanks a lot:)

[@windyurtnowski]

GLAD IT WAS USEFUL AND HOPEFULLY ENTERTAINING.

[@davapod]

Many thanks Windy, I just reupholstered my sad looking VTR1000F saddle following your guide, it looks fab now. I was so concerned I'd mess it up I bought a tatty second saddle for £25 to practise on. I now have a spare looking as good as new as well.👍👍👍👍

[@telosfd]

Great job. Τhe material you put on the saddle is synthetic?

[@hilalsagr3182]

Great! I was just looking for that original looking of cover for my pcx . Thank you

[@Crsmsx07]

Thank you soo much for this video! I bought a ninja 250 for my wife. The bike was laid over and needed a new seat but with your help I made a brand new seat for about $30. (It really helped it was the exact same seat)

[@windyurtnowski]

GLAD TO HEAR OUR INFO SHARING HAS WORKED FOR YOU. I HAVE A VIDEO COMING SOON ON DOING THE PIT BRAND OF SEAT COVER ON A GS1100E.

[@jeanettemoreton132]

Thank you very much, I am really pleased with the way the seat turned out and so was my son .

[@oliabid-price4517]

What do you do about the sharp ends of the staples? Dont they puncture the vinyl from the underside once you have it on the seat?

[@acetech9237]

Old school guys you can't beat um. Sad to see this country losing these tough, hardworking, craftsman. Kids ain't shit these days.

[@MrMagiagi1]

I don’t know how you don’t have a lot of subscribers or views. This video has been very helpful. I have done some reupholstering in the past on barstools but nothing like this

[@richipdaman]

Mate this video was so helpful and the easiest to follow compared to the others iv watched, just finished my seat thanks to you!! Cheers mate thank you so much

[@windyurtnowski]

EVERY TIME YOU SIT ON IT THINK OF ME.

[@windyurtnowski]

I THINK MOST PEOPLE CAN HANDLE IT AND BE PROUD THEY DID IT.

[@kens962]

Wow...that looks amazing... thank you. This is going to take me four to six hours, but thank you for your wisdom

[@windyurtnowski]

USE SHORT STAPLES OF COURSE.

[@SamuelCerreduelaJiménez]

[@mattruckel]

[@r_3_d_m_u_r_d_3_r-_-25]

Can you buy material with yamaha logo on it i need a new seat cover for my yamaha bws id love to have the original yamaha down the side

[@alisdairolavhorgen2173]

Really really helpful 👍

[@octaviodiokno4667]

great this is very informative, awesome

[@gregmyrick1673]

Been doing this forever now, takes me about 20 minutes to do the average seat use to pay for a new sewn seat cover, now I just buy 4 way stretch vinyl at 18$/yard and costs me less than 5-10$ a seat, I probably do half a dozen a month on average so it's really the cats ass probably saves me 300$ or more a month and I don't have to wait for the cover, grab the vinyl off and shelf and get to it. I need to learn how to work foam next

[@wujek_guma]

Dobra robota 💪

[@AllenLight]

Great video, was curious why you don't leave the old cover on and just put the new cover over it?

[@paulhoughton3237]

Thanks that is great! I will now try to do my bike seat soon. That sun is hard on it

[@franklock8662]

Great video

[@georgetech380]

Please can you tell me exactly what size Staples to use for motorcycle seat with a staple air gun ? I am confused about sizing ...how long or how Width the staple has to be for motorcycle seat Thanks

[@windyurtnowski]
