Cheeky Seat Cover (for the Like) - Reviews / Feedback
« on: August 21, 2015, 09:22:11 PM »
Has anyone tried them?

How's the fit and (long-term) quality?  The stock OEM is starting to crack, and also peeled in some areas, for my 2011.  Just the look is compromised, nothing else.

Replacing it with the same OEM is only about $90 through an online e-tailer.  Getting it professionally re-upholstered costs a shade more. 

Any other recommendation on a replacement?  Or, a good experience with an alternate seat cover?

If you can get some of the proper seating foam added to the seat base you will think your scooter has majically improved its rear suspension! It makes that much difference!
Sailrite 4way stretch vinyl is purpose made for outdoor seats (motorcycles, boats, etc.) if your bike upholsterer doesn't have a suitable vinyl.
A cracked seat cover could lead to some real happiness with your LIKE seat.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Great company. I've met the owner several times at different scooter rallies. Her work is incredible and everyone who has gotten seat covers from her rave about the quality of her work.

Search on amazon or ebay for coleman atv seat cover. Works great for a scoot seat cover and has a little added padding, $20. It wont solve the comfort problem but is a great cover.

Installed it over the weekend... great fit, still bedding in, and great looks!  Check back in 6-12 months for the long term report.  Winters in the northeast are harsh.
