    So I ripped the seat on the WR300 last week. At least I was doing something cool when I ripped it haha. Anyway, what kind of seat covers are guys running. Im wondering if I would like a gripper seat since I will be racing ECEA this year. Hmm....wont be sitting much anyway..

    I let my 010 TC fall over and it ripped also .. :( ... I need a cover also or I might get it sewed up ...

    Not sure I like a gripper seat as I tend to slide around on seat alot when ever I try to go fast on the trails \ tracks ... I'm all over the place on the seat and even stand up from time to time ...

    ---

    I'd hate it ripping the seat on my WR because it has that cool Husky emblem on the front of it by the tank ... I'd have to go OEM on that seat ...

    I ripped mine a couple months ago. I bought a yard of material from these guys http://www.seattlefabrics.com/tough.html and a buddy stapled it on for the price of lunch. I have enough material left to recover the seat another time. The bumpy looks almost identical to the factory stuff. It doesn't have a sewed edge like the factory seat but it looks just fine.

    I would say check with seat concepts. They are a sponsor on this site and have treated everyone real well. Great guys to deal with :thumbsup:

    Yeah I just put it on over the weekend it was a nice fit. Not a lot of extra meat on it though if you have a high seat foam you would be pushing it. Standard material its not a non slip type of material. But definitely thicker then stock.

    Do you think it'll be too slippery? :rolleyes: Do you have to cut a hole for the seat fastener?
