Trying to get my 83 Aspencade to look as close to an 83 Standard as possible. Has anyone purchased this seat cover from Ebay? The seller claims of higher quality and good materials but I would like some independent advice. Kind of disappointing that he only sells sets and I cannot buy just the seat cover. $119.95 but by the time I pay the exchange to US funds and pay the shipping it will be close to $165.00 Canadian. Not totally unrealistic if they fit well and are actually of better quality. There is another vendor selling covers for $69.

Thanx for any info

I have no knowledge of this cover to help. A few years back I bought replacement cover for my 84 interstate from Saddleman and I am very happy with the result. I do not know how far they go back, the pricing was similar.

I don't have knowledge of this particular cover, either, but it seems like a reasonable choice. Vendor seems to be trying to emphasize he's not passing off junk. I think I believe him. Besides, how can you not trust a vendor from "Sweet Grass, Montana"?

Thanx all for the help so far. Yes he does try to emphasize the quality of his product and I did forget to look at his sellers feedback. It does look like he has a good reputation. Will very likely order one of his covers. May be able to sell the backrest cover or redo my aspencade backrest and sell that. It needs a cover before it sells anyway.
