Man, you have lost some weight, that is great. My Dr 650 I bought the Seat Concepts and really like it. I really like your videos and you do an excellent job explaining everything you are doing which make it very easy to follow.
Dino is like the Bob Ross of DR650 content. I love it! Some things that might work on glue residue is wd40, goo gone, orange clean, heat or isopropyl alcohol. Should be safe on plastic as well.
Looks better than the old one but maybe buying it on the seat pan already is the way to go. Upholstery isn't an everyday skill or as easy as people think, so if someone does a hundred a day for years, he's going to be good at it.
Should've put it in the dryer while you ate breakfast.. hope you update use soon and also would like to hear how you feel about the safari tank long term.
Hey Dino!! Sorry we're so late to the party, we we're very busy renovating our own Tinkershed!😅 But man what an intro, youve really got those squirrels on your hand😃, and we recognised a really beautiful red DR in the photo montage!😁 Luuk is pretty jealous of your big acetone bottle because we can only buy really small ones due to regulations in the Netherlands. (Luuk uses it to clean before welding) Really nice Broll edit with the music on the final reveal! Very curious how you like the seat, have you ridden it the last few weeks? Cheers from the Netherlands!🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
Looks like you got a deal. I purchased the DIY low pro seat kit from Seat Concepts , which is basically the same thing as this, but only more expensive. And my job came out about like yours too, and I wasn’t 100% satisfied with my own work, but really, I’m the only one that notices the flaws. The memory type foam and the extra width is definitely a huge factor when it comes to comfort. Nice find.
I like it a lot for a budget option and for those who like to do things in their shop. Hard to beat anything for that price. Personally, I'd take a seat over to an upholstery and have them do the same shape as Seat Concepts, throw a Cordura 1000D cover on it and call it a day. SC, Sargent, great options but super expensive as well.
Great work Dino. Motorcycle Seat upholstery. My least favourite job. 2 things that would have helped greatly. Heat gun: - the fabric will stretch much more than you got it to. Rubber gloves:- you mentioned the grip strength you needed to do the job. . Most of that strength was required to eliminate the fabric slipping in your hands. Wear some non slip workshop gloves and that will make stretching the fabric way way way easier and the job much less frustrating. .
Great tips for sure. I did use a hair drier along off camera. The instruction stressed not to use a head gun so I did not want to include that footage in case I received questions about why I did not follow the instructions lol. Thanks again for the information. Dino
The DR seat is a bit like a builder's plank to sit on after a bit of riding! I think you did a good job of fitting the cover and seat. Working at pulling and stretching seating material is hard work (a third hand would have helped I suspect). The cost is very reasonable and the extra seat width will make longer rides more enjoyable. Good clear video as usual Dino. Thankyou. (I made a simple lambs wool cover for the seat on my DR - it helps a lot but the extra seat width you now have should make for more comfortable riding.)
Nice looking seat Dino. Do you think if you let the cover sit in the sun for a bit, that would have helped? P.S. When I've recovered motorcycle seats in the past, I get my wife to operate the staple-gun while I pull the material. Having two hands stretch the material into place while someone else staples, makes it easier.
Hi sir! Really appreciate your videos and your ways of explaining. What about the grip of the material? I have a sargeant seat and it is quite slippery.

Now that is a good tip, wow.

Have you dropped a few lbs? Looking sharp Dino!
Lol, I have, a bit over 70lb, feeling great. Thanks for asking
Dino
@@DinosTinkerShed70 lbs, wow! That's the single best performance mod you can do for a DR!
@@DinosTinkerShedI noticed too Dino! Looking great! Well done!👍

I think you'll luv that seat. Having the dished contour that matches the contour of your posterior makes all the difference.
Seat covers can be a tough job . Another fun video Dino !
Can't beat that price! Looking forward to a longer term update!
Great episode, Dino. And technically, the lighting and exposure look really great. Definitely nailed it!
Thanks Eric
Where is the link to the product?
I placed it in now, thanks for the question.
Dino
@@DinosTinkerShed thanks mate, sorry if that sounded rude.
@MisanthropicClown no issues, sometimes I forget lol

Thanks Mal, I've thought about a sheep skin as well. Thanks for the feed back.
I put 300 miles on my DR in one day and quickly decided to order a Seat Concepts seat. Best upgrade of all time!
I've heard nothing but great things about seat concepts.
Dino
Looking good, Dino! And your production value keeps improving!
Thank you so much
Dino
Looks like a decent seat option. I tried looking it up and it doesn’t seem to be available in the US. Interested to hear your thoughts after using it.
Hmm that's too bad, usually its the other way around. I'll p
Ace the link in the description tomorrow.
The seat cover looks good. Looking forward to your review of the comfort. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I hope the rain let's up so I can try it out lol

You're looking good ... don't get me wrong, you're not 'good looking'!
Lol, at ,y age any attention is good attention 🤣
I checked the link out. The seat does not seem to be made for a tall person. Am i right to say this? I’m 6’4’’.
Thanks for the great video Dino!

Looks great Dino! Nice review.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Awesome video Dino 🎉, great result!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Your original looks like the Suzuki « gel » seat.
Can’t seem to find it on Amazon. Anyway you can link it
I wonder if it's only in canada. I'll place the link in the description tomorrow, thanks for the heads up
Mantt "Visit the store" it shows up
It only exists on the Canadian Amazon site. The name doesn’t even show up in a google search in the US.
@@DinosTinkerShed. Thanks
sold my dr 650 a few months back to pay medical bills 🥹
Oh man, that is terrible, I hope things are improving for you .
Dino
@@DinosTinkerShed thx
@@ozzielinkinI had to sell my DRZ in 2010 for similar reasons. I finally got a new bike again in January 2022. The ups and downs of poor people...
I miss the bike everday but i know i will get another bike one of these days .
Great Job fellow. I
