Re: Basket Cases

I was just going for the cheap cover too, but foam was home made and seat base had been repaired three times in different places.
Went with outdoor carpet on my M158 seat for the above reason.
Had the same issues with Triumph parts from OS with the same resolution. Glad I'm done with restos. :wink:

Re: Magazine Articles
