I found this seat in a junkyard. It was from a WS-150 Italika Motorcycle.
Once more I want to demonstrate how to approach the wrapping of a motorcycle seat with one way stretch automotive vinyl and no sewings at all.
Perhaps, the most difficult part of the process is the restoration of the foam base which must be done beforehand.
It is advisable the use of same molded foam material for the inserts. Some old foam pieces were useful.
A harsh grain sandpaper was useful to even and shape the restored part.
A piece of headliner foamed material 5 mm thick was useful to get a smooth surface prior to the vinyl wrapping.
3 mm size staples were useful to fasten the cover edge to the plastic frame.
The seat looks now rejuvenated with its new cover.
If you watch carefully the video you will find several tips, I gladly share with my enthusiastic fans.
I hope you enjoy and find the video useful!

I need to do this to my motorcycle seat. Truly you are an artist. Thank you for showing us your skills.
I would be glad to do your motorcycle seat cover if you send the item down here to Mexico assuming you are in the USA. It could be done in leather or vinyl.
It’s so easy when you are a pro😁Beautiful work! There’s nothing that you cannot do Cesar. As always I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing .
I really appreciate your kind remarks!
Thanks for watching!
Most of the people would glue the vinyl to the seat instead of applying the correct forces in the correct angles to staple it to the back. Even applying glue using a professional spry system, when the glue dries it hardens and the good side of the fabric will copy all those imperfections, so no matter what how even the glue is spread it wont look professional. In this case and almost all the cases you should not apply glue there's always a work around. No heat which is great, proper way of stretching the fabric and staples selection. 1 single piece, no top and/or double stitching here so no plastic is needed to make it waterproof, nice job man, well executed as always :)
Thanks for sharing this interesting reflection!
You are thoroughly right!
master level. it always amazes me how much stretch vinyl & leather have while retaining enough integrity not to tear where stapled.
Genius. Taught in the universal language of craftsmanship.
So competent, I had to check my settings to see if I had accidentally sped the video up. Great camera work too.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Great Job, Very Nice. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Thanks so much for watching these videos!
Greetings from Mexico!
I’m impressed every time
Excellent work and video as always
Quedo perfecto!!.....que gusto ver a alguien trabajar tan bien.
Great video Cechaflo, very helpful! Cheers, Doug
That’s great Work. I’m gonna go try to do that myself now! Thank you for sharing your skills
Nice, thanks for sharing boss! Have a good day.
You are good.

Sweet job!
Well done...

Good job you mob😊😊
Good job!!!
Muy buen tutorial Maestro, me gusto como detiene el material haciendo una cruz con las grapas, aplicare esa tecnica en mis protectos. Muchas Gracias por compartir su sabiduria.
Lo hago para evitar que se rasgue el vinil. Hay viniles mas gruesos y fuertes que no necesitan hacerle la doble engrapada.
Me encanta ver cómo ha domado el vinilo para que ajuste bien al asiento! 👏👏👏😉😉😉
Tiene mucho que ver el colocar el lado estirable del vinil a lo largo. La tela de refuerzo que tiene el vinil por el revés estira a lo ancho de este material tal como viene en el rollo.
El vinil que estira en 4 sentidos funcionaría mucho mejor para estos diseños.
@@Cechaflo Muchas gracias por la información, como siempre 😁😁, y es una maravilla que tanto en México como en Estados Unidos haya tanta variedad cuando uno va a comprar material de tapicería! Aquí en España, o al menos en mi ciudad, Zaragoza, tal vez los tapiceros profesionales sí que pueden comprar bastante material, pero los que lo hacemos en plan amateur, disponemos de pocas opciones. Aún recuerdo aquel vídeo donde iba usted a comprar cuero a aquel almacén, que es el sueño de todos los que nos gusta el mundillo de la tapicería 🤤🤤🤤👏👏👏
Excelente 👍

Good,,,❤️
@Cechaflo donde consigo las prensa telas que utilizas ? Son de doble arrastre o de triple ? Yo tengo una JACK DOBLE ARRASTRE 6380 existen las prensa telas de ese modelo ?
Excelente trabajo de verdad.
No había visto este tipo de trabajo hecho con tanto detalle.
¿En donde se encuentra ubicado?.. Yo voy a necesitar el tapizado del asiento de mi moto.
Gracias por responder.
Con mucho gusto podemos tapizar el asiento de su moto. Puede ser en piel o en vinil. Estamos ubicados en la ciudad de Guadalajara,Jal. No contamos con taller al público. Recibimos trabajos por correo u otra forma de envío a esta ciudad.
If i have a second set of hands I use a heatgun on low setting and warm up the material a tad and it make for way less pressure needed to fit. Saves my hands from cramping up as well ,
Very nice, I plan to do thr same to my seat, maybe add a 1/4 inch layer of neoprenefoam. .Where did you get that vinyl, its so stretchy???
It is a standard 2-way stretch vinyl. The stretchy side is breadthwise. A 4.way stretch vinyl works out much better.

Please don't make the mistake I made and order premium quality Vinyl ATV seat cover, which turned out to have ZERO stretch in the fabric. Thought I could apply heat gun to it, but all it does is melt the fabric or ruin the surface texture. Getting hold of the right material for your seat shape is a must.
Can I ask you why you didn't glue thin layer of foam to original one same as single pieces and same for upholstery? It's because sitting on it you allow it to work/bend?
I put over the thin foam (foamed backing headliner fabric) to only erase some irregularities on the restored foam base.
It should be well stretched, otherwise wrinkles could appear on vinyl surface. The same applies for vinyl material.
I love watching your tutorials! What kind of the stretch foam is that called
Foamed backed headliner fabric.

@@Cechaflo Thank you!!!
What’s the name of the stretch foam/under fabric that you’re using?
Great tutorial + information.

I used a headliner foam to even the surface. You could also use a regular scrim foam 1/4" of an inch thick.
Fantastic video Cechaflo. Please, 2 questions, my M.C. seat is very hard- when replacing the cover I was thinking of gluing memory foam to the top of the old foam and then covering with new vinyl.... is this a bad idea??? Second, is there a store / shop, in Mexico to buy the glue / vinyl / foam.... that you could recommend?? or a online retailer that is good and ships to Mexico.... or do need to use Ebay? Seat is VERY basic, a Yamaha XT250.
Not a bad idea of adding memory foam on top the old foam. It would add softness.
A gel pad would also be useful. Not really difficult to install on your seat. You can buy the gel pad on Ebay, Amazon, etc. Check out these videos:

Regarding the glue in the USA there is a nice glue called Landau. It is brushable and sprayable: www.dap.com/products-projects/product-categories/adhesives/contact-cement/weldwood-high-streng/

great tutorial!

Amazing video! Small question, sir:
I want to try this with my seat that is exactly the same, but i don’t want the cut the foam. Is that possible? Or is cutting the foam necessary to make it fit? Thank you!
It is not necessary to cut the foam. Do not forget to consider the stretch side of vinyl material. Much better a 4 way stretch vinyl
Was the last piece sew foam or headliner? 4-way stretch material is definitely worth the price.
It is headliner material. I used a 2-way stretch vinyl. Definitely, a 4-way stretch vinyl is much better.
@@Cechaflo I gotcha, nice product. Keep up your videos please.
What would you charge to do a dyna wide glide gunfighter seat and where would send it to
I would be glad to do your job, but first thing to consider is I am located in Mexico. There would be an extra expense you would pay that is the shipping costs back and forth via FedEx, DHL, etc. If there is no problem, please, send me some pictures of oyour own seat to cechaflo@gmail.com in order to give you an estimate. I suppose you want it in leather.

👍
Is it the same procedure for real leather or do you have to do something to make it stretch enough to work
Procedures are almost similar provided the stretchy side of leather should be considered. ruclips.net/video/dhmCJFpOs_0/видео.html
What is that green handled staple remover tool you're using? I'd love to have one for my own tool kit. Currently I just use a flat screwdriver to remove staples and it's not great. Thank you! Love your videos! You are a great teacher. :)
It is a homemade upholstery staple remover I did using a screwdriver. I shown the process in this video:

@@Cechaflo Thank you very much! Have a wonderful day!
@@ORTaeKwonDoChick You are referring to the ordinary pointed wire cutting pliers I am using in the video. They work out well.

Hi there, may i ask why did you not just glue the black vinyl onto the cover ? Would it be easier to do it that way ?
The cover should be loose to stretch and slide to the sides and take shape of the foam base.
@@Cechaflo I see. thank you for answering my question :)
Can you use a thin 1/4” or so sheet or memory type foam instead of headliner foam??? Or does the headliner foam have a stronger backing? Or I guess I’m asking why the headliner foam
As the old hard density seat foam has a rough surface the added layer foam is useful to even it. Any automotive foam is helpful and it could be thin or slightly thicker. Why a headliner foam is because that was what I had at hand.
@@Cechaflo i was curious if the headliner with the backing was more sturdy and easier to stretch across the seat than say a thin sheet of memory foam?
@@jasondiddle4226 The headliner foam backing makes it sturdier than a memory foam. If your motorcycle seat foam cushion is in good condition you could add the memory foam over to make the surface softer.
Hi Sir, What do you call that white top layer?
It is a 5 mm thick headliner foam backed material.
@@Cechaflo thanks for sharing 🙏, may I know the brand? I'm not sure if it's available here in our country

Saludos, Baja California, como puedo identificar el VINIL MARINO?
Es un poco dificil reconocer a la vista si el vinil es marino o es automotríz(estandar). Lo importante es comprar este material de una tienda acreditada que nos va a vender el vinil marino original, el cual tendrá mas resistencia a los rayos UV y no se decolora. Ademas tiene una protección contra formación de hongos(pudrición). Pasa lo mismo con la piel/cuero.
Por ejemplo esta tienda es confiable:
www.albrightssupply.com/products-search?qs=Marine+vinyl
Los vinilos de grado marino, se utiliza en tapicería en barcos,botes, toldos e incluso muebles de exterior. Estos vinilos están hechos para ser duraderos, resistentes a la abrasión y al moho, y no destiñen. Tienen la capacidad de soportar cambios extremos de temperatura y eventos climáticos. Si el diseño es adecuado, los vinilos de grado marino también se utilizan a menudo en aplicaciones comerciales, hospitales y hogares.

Espero que esta información le sirva.
@@Cechaflo Agradesco su respuesta, localmente, dicen que es marino, pero no tiene marca alguna, he aprendido de sus videos,sobre todo los ajustes de la singer 421-12, no soy tapicero, pero trabajo con lanchas, exelente trabajo Sr, todo mi agradecimiento ( Mexicali BC )
What is material of cover?
I need to know.
It is a regular two way automotive stretch vinyl. The stretch side should be placed lengthwise of the motrocyce seat.

Hola señor.
Estoy iniciandome en el rubro de mochilas y riñoneras y se me complica a la hora de tomar la medida de los fuelles y no logro una correcta terminación.
Usted podría asesorarme ?
Muchas gracias y Saludos desde Argentina.
No tengo videos específicos en este rubro, pero a lo mejor estos videos relacionados pueden dar alguna idea.
