for the most part yes. if you buy something for $20, and the next cheapest like item is $150... you got junk.

NOW there are other cases as well... but i dont' want to jack this thread worse :offtopic:

:welcome: and please post more, so all our members can learn about your services!

No need to be a salesman... just put a link in your sig, and be there to answer ?'s as they come up from the members. quality products sell themselves, if they are known.

you'll get 'er in no time.


Whatever ya got... we'll listen.
Hell people still read what i write, and I just put down an entire page of BS cause i was bored.

yea, i just did the 01-03 F4i tail swap on my F4 no long ago. I bought a set of seat covers for $20+shipping off ebay. Not a bad price, but all the front cover was 1 piece of material. As anyone that has these type of seats 1 peice of material just doesnt fit n secure as well as a sewn fitted cover. And yes I am anal about my shyt, I have been told the seat looks great but I know what/where its flaws are :lol: n it bugs me.

So yes you do get what your pay for :lol:

yes i saw the pics... it does look good

and yes i've sat on duct tape
that's what we used on my old 3-wheeler seat.
it worked... for awhile...
until i started riding aggressively, then it just rolled up under me and stuck to EVERYTHING, except the seat. :sneaky2:

exactly :lol: why I refuse to use. My first experience with duct tape seat covers was in a clunker car with torn up vinyl seats. So we duct taped em up. On e hot summer day cruising about in said beater, wearing shorts, dt cover rolling up sticking to leg hair......

ok you get the idea, wasnt pleasant :lol:
