Does anyone know if seat covers are available, or just the whole seat. I've developed a split in the vinyl and it's getting worse.

Mark, I've never heard of the cover being sold separately. If indeed that's true you might check local upholstery shops and see if they can recover it. I just had a Harley police saddle redone.

I see custom-made seat covers on eBay for the Ulysses, in different colours. Looks like they're made in the UK.

When my cover gives it up, I may give them a try.

I will check eBay. I have a REALLY good upholsterer nearby who has done very nice work for me in the past. I just don't want to wait six to eight weeks for my seat...

Like I said, REALLY nice work.

When the time comes to do mine, I'll be sealing the inside of the seams. Hopefully that will keep the water out of the foam!

Newcastle HD has new seats in stock for less than a hundred.

You don't need a seat cover, just some marine vinyl of your preference. A yard will do.

I've done deeper dished seats too, just use 3m spray glue to hold the material in the dished part. Super easy, but with complete seats under $100 it's hard to justify unless you want something custom.

Less than $100? I will contact them. That's hardly more than the price of a fitted cover.

Do they have online parts ordering?

SPHD is only showing the all-black seat. $108 is a pretty good price though.
