May 14, 20187 yr Hello all I'm progressing with my bike and I decided to add some memory foam to have a more comfy ride for me and my passengers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s09debeyw0cpha6/IMG_20180514_215047.jpg?dl=0 I've added my nice black tarpaulin on top to cover it and make it waterproof: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9vis2cxofkytsqu/IMG_20180515_001447.jpg?dl=0 However, now the bike seat doesn't look very nice. Looks like someone wrapped some stuff inside. How can I create a nicer feel? If I change to see faux leather would that look better? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0158IUTF4/ref=pd_aw_sbs_201_of_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=J3XTYEKJ8W04ZWT6BXN1 I nice retro look would be good! Thanks

I thought my seat isn't too bad. It just need a cover. Maybe not replacing the whole seat?
May 15, 20187 yr Is it better to completely remove what I've already done? I thought my seat isn't too bad. It just need a cover. Maybe not replacing the whole seat? It looks fine to me. Just cover it with some faux leather, like a chopper seat.
May 15, 20187 yr My grandson's seat on his balance bike has to much padding he couldn't get his leg over the seat or touch the floor. I took the padding out of an old seat and covered with faux leather. I used the two part epoxy resin from poundland. You will need to get a smoother finish on your foam or the shape will show through the faux leather. Maybe use a bread knife to shape the foam. Sent from my T1005 using Tapatalk
