  1. This sounds silly, but if you have ideas/inputs...
    I am trying to make a seat cover to put over my precious gel seat so not
    tear it(like the last one).
    I don't like putting sticky ducktaps so I thought denium would be best
    clothe material to use.
    It will be made of denium so it can withstand the scraps from my UPD. I
    plan to make several so I can replace them as they wear out(instead of
    the gel seat).
    Need some pattern so I can sew the front and back part to taper up. Does
    anyone have some saddle patterns I can use?
    Thanks 🙂

  2. I don't have any patterns, but there not hard to make. just trace the
    outline of your seat, and then sew a strip of material on the side big
    enough for your seat and a drawstring. Also, I would suggest making it
    out of vinal or leather. Denum isn't as strpng as it looks, but it might
    be fine if you don't UPD that much.

    People who throw stones at you are quietly saying, "shoot me," they're
    just not being verbally expressive enough.

  3. I have made a saddle cover, try searching the old threads it's called
    self-designed seat cover. My cover is modeled after KH.

    I used demim for a while untill I got some leather, the denim is nice to
    work with and seemed quite durable, but maybe not in the longterm, by
    the way, the leather still looks like new after many hours and hundreds
    of miles of riding!

    Anyway, on my thread there is some discussion which might help you.
    Please keep me posted on how your project turns out!

    All the best,
    Cameron
