Default ATV seat recover
My atv seat is shot, beyond duct tape repair. Anyone know of an item to recover the seat ??

Table cloth ?

Dont want to spend $70 for a new seat. It just needs to be re-covered.

I wouldnt use a table cloth cause the next time you catch the bike on fire it will burn longer

If you want to repair it....cheep.

Try going to an upholstery shop and ask if they have any "scrap" or discarded material that you can have. The main seat frame on most 4 wheelers are made of a hard material, but it can be stappled with a good "carpenter" staple gun to secure a new cover.

I once found some "vinal" material at a fabric store. It was fairly cheep.... and did not last very long. Find some good stuff to use.

Brother-n-law did his seat with an old pair of camo neoprene waders. Just cut to fit and staple....looked really good.

With all your $ just by a new one. I think a pink camo one would look good.

Use some of that zebra print duct tape on your seat.
