So this may have been done before but I need to know

For those of you who have tried these how do they hold up and would you recommend

Also the ribbed traction fortify with the reinforced sides for knee braces. Is that worth the extra money and time. I can order from rocky Mountain and have it here sooner. But is it worth it to wait a while longer and pay a little more for the fortified?

Awesome covers and I've installed them on at least 10 of my riding buddy's bikes.

I've tried BUD, Motoseat and EnjoyMFGs version of the ribbed seat cover. BUD racings came up top, motoseat a close second and Enjoys was useless. Fell apart straight out of the box.

Used a bump on a couple of bikes. It was really hard to get it fitted for the BUD cover. The Enjoy cover was easier to install it on but the seams on the cover did not like the extra stretch.

My next cover will be a blackbird racing GP style cover. Far best grip on the market.

My son gets about 4 months out of one, which is better than any cover we've tried. Haven't tried the reinforcement but def going to look into it. I use 5/16 staples, motoseat covers fit really well and you don't have much overlap. If you do you may need 3/8 in those spots

Makes sure you get the extra material on the sides so your knee braces don't wear through.

I just put one on my project cr250 and it looks and feels awesome. Use 1/4 inch staples, any longer and your ass will pay the price. Electric or air staple gun makes it much easier.

So I ordered it from rocky Mountain yesterday and it got here today (perks of living about 4 hours away from them). I'm really happy with it so far. I just need some new graphics and plastics now and it will look real fresh.

Use a piece of bar pad foam to make a bump, just squished down under the cover.

That's such an easier ideas than which had. I was thinking foam pipe insulation. That's alot more easily available. Thanks.
