    Hi all.
    I have ordered a tribo grippy seat cover for my wife, but it's way too small to fit properly.
    Looking at the photos below, could anyone tell me if this is a standard, or comfort seat?
    Cheers all.
    Steve.

    Normally white stitching indicates "comfort" seat

    My experience with Tribo seat covers is that they are generally inconsistent.
    IF you get one that fits, it works very well otherwise, tough tits.

    For a top quality seat cover made from the finest fabrics, consider Luimoto. Here is what they made for me.

    How does that look with the rear seat fitted? Does look fantastic in its own!
    Did you have anything done with the foam while the cover was off too?

    Looks awesome fitted. See photo below. I find the foam to be very comfortable on long rides, so I didn’t touch it. I just didn’t like the slippery material of the oem seat cover. On the new cover I chose alcantara for the top material for a luxurious feel with better grip.

    That actually looks really smart. Is it an off the shelf cover or fully custom made?

    It’s a slight modification to their fully custom seat cover.

    They also have made this cover. It’s nice, but I didn’t want all the panels on the sides.
