jluck Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi, I am a new member and a new owner of a 1975 DT175. I have the bike all put back together and running great. The only thing is putting on the new seatcover. Can someone give me some advice on how ? Thank You jluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hi You could try Youtube there are several examples of seat covering tricks, There is even a demonstration on a type of toothed gripper strips that replace the original gripper teeth as they are often rotten, I bit the bullet and brought a new metal based seat from an ebay seller in Tiawan, the seat fits very well and looks almost like an exact replica but I think it is for the smaller eastern behind as the seat is about 2 inches shorter then the original, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
