Their patterns are good, stitching quality excellent, and material is nice and thick and weather resistant.

Custom Comfort Camo makes some really nice stuff. Bought one for my tecate 2 years ago and has held up great. They ride trikes themselves

Last year I was restoring a GT BMX bike and could not find the bar pads anywhere for less than 100$. I took my chances on some thailand repops. Now the original pads were to say
"GT Bicycles"
"Santa Ana California"

To my chagrin when the repops showed up, the material was cut too short and the bar foam was cut from waterpipe insulation and did not fit a GT bike. Add insult to injury the "Santa ana California" actuall was printed "Santa Ana Califosnia"..
55$ bucks out the window to a foreign land and I still paid 87$ for another set done better from someone in the US. In the end I was in the negative for 37$

Now I can pick that cover apart all day long in your link. Particularly, none of the bottoms of the "spray paint" line up or are the proper width. the honda on the back, the "O" is too small and the spacing of the "D" is to close to the "N" and it is painted on crooked. Not to mention, I am willing to bet you will not have good luck stretching that cover on your seat without severely distorting the logos and them not lining up correctly due to the vinyl stretching and will probably end up with cracks in the spray painted logos.

My wife can't compete with a 35$ cover nor does she have time. Her work is more expensive and she always is backed up 8 weeks, so I am not posting here to pimp her work or drum up more business.

I would rather see you spend your money with anyone else in the states, spend a little more and get a little better product than something you will not have any luck with.
Get a Hi flite cover, Ceet, HCC, whatever..But don't throw away 35$ on something you will not be happy with or be able to use. JMO.

x1000 on Cosmic Quads, aka Mosh and Mrs. Mosh.

I have one of their seats and off the top of my head I believe it's at least 6 years old now. It's holding up great, and I couldn't be happier with it. They do top-notch work. You can see it in my sig pic....


Here is another.

I bought one of those seat covers in the OP's post, I like it, very good quality, matches my like new original seat cover perfectly. I bought it on a limb, thinking it would be crap, very nice.

OP's post, means the original poster, which is you. I bought the 250r version of the cover you linked. This one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-ATC350X-ATC-350-X-1985-1986-SEAT-COVER-HAEV-/271137876608?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f2113aa80&vxp=mtr

I like it a lot, very nice quality for the money. Its just going on a spare seat, so i didn't feel like spending much cash. And it got to canada in a little over a week.

This place is a little slower on the shipping side because they make them once you "win" the auction. have one on my 200x and it's great work. have to see how it will hold up to the negative temps we ride in here. made an offer and got it for $45 shipped. if it does crack in the cold, then i'll be ordering one from cosmic quads.
