Title: htmoto seat covers, how are they?
Post by: h2smokin on August 19, 2011, 11:18:42 AM

Just after some opinions on their covers. Thinking of the non slip but not sure yet. Are you happy overall, thanks in advance

I'm happy with mine, but I wouldn't go with non-slip fabric as it has a tendency to grip your clothing and not allow for the natural movements that a rider makes on the seat.

I purchased one; it's with my seat en-route to Spencer to work his magic.  I had read that Spencer (and a few others) did't recommend the anti-slip for the seating surfaces.  I selected black vinyl for the rider's surface much like the stock seat.  My wife was willing to take the gamble to help keep her more planted.  We selected the carbon fiber pattern vinyl for the sides.  Arrived about 10 days after I ordered it.

I took it out of the bag and looked it over when it arrived; looks like it was well made; vinyl quality matches the samples the shipped us for free after we requested them on the website. 

I can't fully recommend until I get to see the finished product installed on the seat - but so far so good.

I dig mine a lot...
Only time I'm not too thrilled about it is when I have rain gear on...slippery!

I had the non slip on mine and had ZERO problems moving around when I wanted to, however it did help with sliding fwd.  I sold it to a member so maybe he will chime in.

I got the non slip, felt a bit rubbery out of the box but not at all once installed. I do move around a lot in the curvies too.
