This is the 20.00 seat cover I bought on Ebay several months ago. I needed new strap clips because mine were getting a little rusty. Didn't think I would install the cover but decided to do the full job and post pics here. My Mom did most of the work because she is an expert with leather and vinyl seat restoration. The total job took about 1 1/2 hrs.    
Shown is the old seat cover I removed. It was a JC Whitney special I got in the mid nineties.
The last shot is the finished new cover. It is held on with Contact cement and stapled. I had to readjust the clips and prepunch the holes. The strap is still a little tight but will stretch over time.
It's a 750 cover but I went with it anyway for my 900F |

Looks perfect to me - nice job! I also like that bug eyed Sprite you have in the background. Let's see more of that.  |

They are listed for 23.95 now on eBay. For some reason, when I got mine it was an auction. A couple bucks more and 5.95 shipping. I don't know how to post eBay but it comes right up when you search Honda 900f seat cover |

That looks great.
Can you please send her to Australia to recover 8 seats? |

It is a 1961 TR3 my Dad bought brand new. It is still in perfect polished condition. We were replacing a fuel line coupling. |
