Anybody have this cover? I thought I saw one on here but my search showed nothing. $112 shipped from Poland.

I have this cover fitted to my bike, look in the topic, reviving the tiger, be aware that the seams are not fully water tight.
The cover is a upgrade to the stock one, looks very good.
I am just in the process of getting one of these covers put on Stanley's seat. It appears to be extremely well made, of what looks like durable material. It was nice to be able to have a choice of colour for the piping, stitching and the 'Triumph' logo, which is also stitched, not a decal. Of course it remains to be seen how it stands up to time, especially since there are lots of pieces.
I opted not do do a diy install so have got a local upholsterer to do it. Not cheap, but the whole cost is still a lot less than a new seat.
And above all else it makes the bike look real spiffy. Imho, that is.

Most bike seat upholsterers I've seen working in recent years, cover the seat foam in a tough plastic under the outer covering, couldn't tell you the actual material they use though.

I agree. Had one on my VFR800. Did two Iron Butt rides on it (1500 miles, 36 hours and 2000 miles, 2 days) with no issues at all.
I am open minded about how this will work out. The Corbin will be the default if the stock is as bum-numbing as you say.
It's Polish, keep it lubricated with Zubrowka and your arse will never feel the pain :new_all_coholic
The corbin seat is one of the best seats available in the market, looking like a horse saddle to me :icon_mrgreen:
But it is also 6 times more expensive, even without shipping and tax! The butt will have to cope! :pottytrain2 hahah
I just received the email that my Renazco rebuild is finished and will be shipped soon. Although I can't ride it for another month (at least) I will post some pictures once I have it mounted. I'm hoping for the best.

I guess you really get hit with postage and import charges. It's not quite so painful for us here.. $369 if ordered direct from the factory + postage
