I like the stock seat foam, but thats JMO and every a$$ is different. I think when a seat is cut on the top with angles like the GG, harder foam is no problem. My '07 by comparison was a hard conventional shape and was tough, replaced that with softer '08 seat.

Finally finished install of the new seat cover I got from Steve (aka - twowheels)
Made by MotoSeat
Color is all Black and is one piece.

My only modification was to put a small hole in the cover so that I can now install/remove seat from the top...... Yeah Baby !!!

For install I recommend using an Air Stapler Gun. I got mine from Harbor Frt for $25 (good news is that the stapler did not break yet......)

Seat looks good! I agree that air/electrical stapler is the way to go. I would have been planning a seat cover if I was able to cut foam down...but since I don't think there is room. I will wait until it rips.

I mainly used both 5/16" and 1/4" staples. I am not a huge fan of Harbor Frt tools but I was surprised how well the stapler did work for this small project.

Originally I did try 1/4" staples in my hard hitting roof felt stapler and it was not cutting it for me. The air gun stapler put the staples in with no issues at all.

On a side note if anyone is interested in converting the seat bolt connection from inside the fender to what I did I would be happy to share. It was super easy!!!

Tried to order from MotoSeat but they were not familiar with GasGas and did not know if they had a template available. I have a 13 EC300 and wish to replace the stock seat cover with the red over black nonskid cover that you show in your post. If you can facilitate this process please let me know what the next step would be. Thanks
