Author Topic: What seat cover and tank cover (Read 9379 times)

I am looking to get a new seat cover, and a gas tank cover. What seat covers are best for grip and durability. What tank covers are you guys running, who all makes them. Pros cons, and pics would be great. With my silver plastics I'm thinking both covers black would look best, any other ideas?

I've had Cascade Innovations (http://www.cascadeinnovations.net) make all my seat covers for over a decade. Great quality, lots of colors, and an optional "gripper" insert. But for more MX look, I see a lot of guys using Fourwerx, Graves, and CEET.

Are you using the original seat foam? I have noticed some get taller foam.

I got new foam and a gripper cover from Fourwerx. Awesome quality on both

I'm with OJ all the way cascade covers with their gripper seats make a huge difference.

All good recommendations. I also really liked a factory effex gripper that I had. They are just a straight up solid black nothing fancy but made and work well.

Another option is Ben Lagrange. He does custom seats. Will do whatever you want. Has the grippy material as well.

Wow, lots of options. Thanks guys. This is going to be a tough decision. Anyone run the carbon fiber looking material, or have a pic of a seat done up with it?

It is not exactly what you are asking for but the looks of the factory effex texture blends nicely with carbon fiber.

That is a clean look, alot better on the wallet than some of the others too. Who other than Mayer makes tank covers?

I have a Factory Effex with a Carbon tank on white plastics and it looks good. Also have one with RED OEM fenders and a black tank and looks good too.

I've used the effex seat covers on other bikes before I had no complaints
