Speaking of Max - here's our dog. He's a goofball, but you better not mess with him. He'll plow right into you, take you down and put a deathgrip on you.

Made them myself...

The bottom right shows the sealing of the stitches on the underside.

I have all the template pieces, if that helps you out ;) A bottle of Jack might help you a little more....

Total cost for mine $19.43, including shipping of both vinyls (2 different sources...that purple was a pain to find).
Have you considered making and selling these seat covers? I don't posses the skills necessary to do anything like this, but I'd sure pay someone to...
 
Turned the odometer over to 25,000 miles. Bought it January 2012 with 2,000 miles, and have been riding it hard ever since!

I also installed my Seahorse locking case as a tank bag. It turned out pretty well.

That ejection seat button deserves a video!
 
Dumped the SV on a curve this weekend. Dislocated shoulder and hairline wrist fracture. Based on last shoulder dislocation going to be out for a few months as long as wife doesn't kill me first.....:facepalm:

On the bright side minimal damage to SV busted windscreen, cracked front fairing minimal road rash on handlebars ( thank you SVracing frame sliders)
 
I like the location but I would be concerned my leg would turn them on while riding.
 
I certainly wouldn't want a hard case being the first thing my chest hit if I had an accident.
I always wear a chest and back protector under my jacket. Even without that piece of gear, there is hard stuff all over the bike to hit body parts on. This case which is held on by a plastic connector is the least of my worries.
 
Rode down to Bremerton to buy a pair of new oil filters.
Oil and filter change with T6 from O'Rileys. Lubed the chain.
Yay! got something done. Have not washed any bikes yet this year.
Maybe if it warms up a bit.
 
Installed the last 2nd hand parts I needed to button up the curvy up. Side panels, chain guard, and swingarm mounted fender.
 
Checked my rear brake pads; they're toast. Funny, I almost never use the rear brake. I ordered some cheesy pads off ebay, since I hardly ever use it.

Changed the oil. Rotella T6/Purolater PL14459 (have a Bales adapter, so I can use bigger/better filters).

As soon as the weather warms up a bit, I'll check the valves. Nearly 44K on the bike... I wonder if I'll have to do a shim swap this time????
