Nice product and great fit and quick to install. It is cut very accurately and as long as the edges are pulled to match the existing cover (it can be put on over the original) it fits perfect. Took about 20 minutes. Had to wrestle it a bit to stretch it to final staple position but it came out really nice. Got the one with an alcantara like texture as I always slide forward a little on hard braking and it feels more grippy. Overall, a good (kind of expensive at 160) purchase and nice fit and finish. The red green and white embroidery is a nice touch. |

Pics would be nice, thanks. Because I like the flag as well but I'm thinking it might be too long.... | |

Yes pls post some pics. Assume you didn't put in any of that gold gel? Did you remove thevoriginal cover or put over the top? And what sort of staple gun did you use?

Pics will follow when I get access to my laptop...iPads don't let me post up pics The instructions are easy to follow and I used the recommended T-50 staple gun with 6mm x 1/4" staples. I went over the top of the original. No extra pads or gel. I like the seat as is comfort wise. Louiag's pic looks good but doesn't do it justice in the details. I'll try to put up a few images tonight. The colors are a nice accent and give a little more nationality to the bike |

I spoke with their Sales Rep yesterday. They currently do NOT have a cover which will go over either the DP race or comfort seat, only OEM.

Also take note, the stock seat cover does NOT come off, it's fused to the seat foam on the seat, so your only option is to install the Luimoto cover over the stock cover.

I have the same seat cover. Very pleased. I did spray it down with 3M spray adhesive first though. It keeps wrinkles from appearing in the future.

Jarel. What make and model wheels do you have there? Also, what tank pads are on sides of it? I really like the cover. Did you use the gel inserts too? Briefly looked at site but are there options for the script or do they all say 1199? I did see you can get customized stuff added for special prices too. |

Both look very nice. May have to go this route instead of a DP seat which will add height.

Love to hear your thoughts on the Luimoto. I just received the Luimoto on another bike that I am going to put on. I'll see how I like it, but I have a lot fewer options for seats on that bike than on the Duc.

That seat cover is sharp looking. Too bad they don't have one for the comfort seat.

Tried the seat out at the track today, it does NOT work as a racing seat, is just as slippery as the stock seat. Going to go back to the racing seat only cut the foam down thinner since I found the seat to be too tall for me.
