I like the Motoseat without the pleats.  They have a good combination of grip, comfort, ease of installation, and durability.  I'm liking their product.  Of course....Guts makes a great package as well.

Throttle Jockey, if it's good enough for the Lawrences, it's good enough for Katie!

I love what GUTS does for the sport, but their seats tear my ass up. If you’re looking for the ultimate grip, they definitely get the job done, especially if you add the RJ wings. 

My go-to are Thrill Seekers though. Customizable and just enough grip without having me walk like I just left prison 😂

I have the RJ wings and it's a game changer. So much easier to grip the bike

Ceet Racing made a ton of colorful seat covers back in the day. You can still get some of them made if you direct contact them.

Any of those grippers ? And made for 04,s.?  I,m running stock 04 cr125 gripper . It’s actually pretty good except for the sides. I had a TJ factory gripper I didn’t like the 2 seams . It slowed me from sliding onto the side of the seat & back.  Not sure how anyone rides with the ribs & big seams . TJ makes a custom gripper in all the colors  . I had 2 cr 87 blue the orange peal  wasn’t grippy enough.  I,m going with a yellow with TUF. In orange letters . If the the yellow is grippy enough.  Yellow backgrounds red plastic the yellow seat should look cool .

Have used 1# gripper for a couple of years now. It’s a Swedish brand that makes silicone seat covers that are super grippy. Nothing else on the marked are even close in grip compared to One gripper and another Swedish brand called Selab that also make silicone seat covers.

One thing that makes life easier and can make installing the covers easy and even fun. Is a decent AIR powered staple gun. 

 

The Harbor Freight air powered staple gun has been the best for me.  The old model, that was around $20 on sale. I put 100's of covers on with one. I figured I would upgrade to the legit Arrow branded model. And I was disappointed. It works fine. But The tip is bigger and its harder to get into the tighter areas on some seat bases.

  I have not tried the newest Harbor Freight gun yet. But they seem to have improved them as far as quality. I only had issues with mine because I NEVER oiled it. I did not want to contaminate my air lines and fittings with oil. I sometimes will use the same compressor for painting. Even with no oil other than whatever they used while building them, I have installed 100's of covers with few jams. The Arrow branded gun I have has jammed as often or more often. Most of the time it is user error. ANd both are easy to clear. 

 I have a Milwaukee M12 battery powered stapler that uses the same T50 staples as the air guns. Mine was one of the first out, so they may be better now. But mine did not have the power to put a staple into the plastic seat bases.
