Post by TLRam1 »

Where do i find a replica? I have this site saved but....is this a decent cover? I thought there were a couple of places to choose from.

I got mine from Paul Miller. It looks very sharp on the bike and comes with panic strap.

I didn't know he had them, how much was it? Is it the proper style pattern on the seat with Suzuki on the back?

It cost me $US90 - a fortune for those of us from the banana republics :(
but not such an issue for the local lads.

It does have the Suzuki logo on the back. I didn't see it listed on ebay, I contacted him directly (I think he's got shelves of stuff he doesn't necessarily advertise).

There are some pictures of my T500 on this forum - posted last week or so. They will let you see the seat and logo in situ.

The one I posted from above is 42.50 but I didn't know the quality, I think someone on here has experience with them and there is also posted on ebay.

I didn't know RB had them either, I thought all he had was the GT stuff which I read are pretty good. I do have his contact info or website somewhere.

I got seat cover + strap from GTReiner in Germany and they look very closed to original. Some replica covers seen on the market have had smaller letters on the back than originally used.

RB doesn't have the T500 covers, waiting on a response if he will ever have them.

My GT380 cover will be 55 including ship. Hmmm, USD, I don't know.
