The formed seat covers are sure nice for a resto look, but you're not going for that. Head to Fabricland in Duncan and see if they have Daytona vinyl in stock. I bought enough red Daytona to cover two seats for less than $10, and it's UV-rated for outdoor use. Good stuff.

It will be a little tough to cover the metal seat pan, but it can still be done. In addition to the punched metal triangles, you can also use short sheetmetal screws, since the foam will never compress enough to poke someone in the bum.

Here's an XR100 kickstand and pegs for cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XR100R-Footp...727ecd&vxp=mtr
I think that's what I will end up doing for the seat. Get a few try's for the price of the formed cover. And it doesn't need to be perfect.

25 bucks shipping puts that stand at 50 bucks if I go with the "buy now"
I'm going to keeps cowering eBay for now
Until I look at it again. I think I can make one though lol

We'll just have to wait and see
