That looks like a great seat cover. Looked on the web site and was most impressed with the range of covers. Let us know how easy it was to fit if you get a chance. Cheers and a happy new year. Nigel.
p.s you pipped me to the sale. It was a good buy.

That's a full redo isn't it? My bike has a shity just cover over the original which was to low at the front exposing the rubbed tank and to tight at the rear so it ripped.
How much was it?

I paid £28 + £6 postage on an Ebay Auction, they sell the covers on BUY IT NOW, from around £45, the advantage of this is you can choose the colour of stitching I have not yet fitted the cover because as you say you have to ditch the original cover and staple on the new one, and I am at the moment still using the bike for getting to work Offering the cover up to the seat, it does look way to big, but I won't know for sure until I try to fit it I will post up my feedback on the cover when installed Alan H

Well I finally got round to fitting the cover, pain of a job and judging by the fit, I suspect I was given the wrong one. I paid for a 650 revere cover, the one that arrived did have Deauville written in felt tip (I don't know if early Deauvilles where the same). The cover itself seamed a little too long. I started off with a heavy duty stapler then quickly gave in. hand staplers and normal heavy duty staples are not up to the job In the end I used very short self drilling screws and they did the job a treat The final finish is OK considering an amateur did the job and I'm happy enough with the final result flic.kr/s/aHsjRpDmCmAlan H
