Default GreenSeatCover

Anyone know where I can get a green/black seat cover for an '07 ZX6R? Google is giving me nothing.

Just do it yourself...I posted pics of my old 636 and did that myself. You will need a staple gun and green fabric of your choice. I have black patent synth leather on my 10R right now. It is easy to do just takes a bit of practice...Do the Front closest to the tank...Then do the bottom...Make sure to keep stretching the fabric tight...Then do the left closest to bottom and then do the middle...Repeat for other side...That is the trick. I have done 5 seats.

if you get a pneumatic stapler it's less work and really not that hard. I've had mine off and back on while trying to think of what I wanted to do to mine. really, not that hard.

I got my stapler from harbor freight. had to go somewhere else for the staples because they don't carry really short ones needed for the seat.

That would be the key id think, ive used electric staple guns that just suck!

I did the same thing, it's kind of a pain in the butt on a 250 seat, but how it looks is well worth it. Plus they make them in a bunch of different styles. It should be much easier with a smaller seat.

they don't make it for the Zx6R. I am going to get the Luigomoto seat cover, take it to a shop to have it put on. Want my bike to stand out

Oh well, it was worth a shot. I have to say though, that seat cover looks really good. I know what you mean, I wanted mine to stand out too, the black seat had to go!
