I'm looking into getting my seat re-covered. The stock cover it falling apart. I wanted to know if anyone has used or even heard of these guys, HT Moto.
Let me know what you guys think...

Well, I went and ordered a seat cover and a gel insert from these guys. We will see how they are...

I know, I know...
I just received the seat cover and gel insert via UPS today (Friday). I hope I have time this weekend to cover the seat. I'll take pics as I work on it and post them up A.S.A.P!

Okay all, here is the progress...
This is the HT Moto seat cover. I ordered the seat with the Phoenix Black seat and the non-slip black sides with green thread and the gel seat insert.
I had to go out and buy some 1/4" stainless steel T50 staples and some 3M #77 Super contact adhesive.
Very simple to remove old cover and install new cover. I let the new cover sit outside in the sun when I was working on the seat before the cover was needed. The HT cover was warm and easy to stretch over the stock seat with the gel insert and smoothing foam on.

The feel is great! I love the gel insert! Makes those rides a hell of a lot more enjoyable on the butt! I noticed that I don't slide around on the seat as much with the new cover. I sit in one place and stay there, even on hard braking. Best comfort mod to date!
