I have seen a few pictures on here of sparks with black seats. Just wondering where to get them from or if people was just getting their seats re-covered.

Most of the ones I have seen are from hydra-turf. A few are customs done at local upholstery shop.

Riva sells a decent one... But my best advice, go to a local upholstery shop with a picture of what you want and your seat. A few days later, you'll have exactly what you wanted!

Brp is starting to sell replacement grey seat covers for one up and two up sparks, part number 295501158 for two up and 295501159 for three up units,
$59.99 cdn for the two up covers and $64.99 cdn for the three up cover,
the kit comes with a grey seat strap, corner pieces, and rivets to reattach the new strap.

I put one on my grey two up unit and painted the white panels with some plasti-cote type spray paint and it looks pretty good!

I'd attach a pic but for some reason it keeps saying upload failed when I try to attach one.

I went to Menards and bought black vnyl car dash spray paint and sprayed seat in thin progressive layers -4- letting dry for about 30min between. Holding up great after 6 rides.
Did plastic coat to the white side covers and top handle bar cover. Not holding up that well but plastic coat can be touched up easily with another spraying. Might pull off and use the vinyl spray next year.

Looks great now (could not get pic to load)

I have installed the HydroTurf seat cover with pink stitching so it matches the Spark. And its 10 times better to ride on because it does not get slippery like the "skin" original one.

Which kind of material did you choose at the F and C?

i choose suede, its not like the carseats its very good with good grip, and i have carbonefiber around. And i got the strap in the same.. Suede.
i have used it for 1 year now and no marks after salt or anything.

This is before i started using it, the small ´bulk´in it got placed by itself after i used it 2-3 times. it fits like the original

Thanks! I have problems sliding of the seat all the time, so a new seat cover is something i really need. Did you put it on yourself or have someone professionals do it?

Got a pro to do it. took like 15min and 50$

That looks great.....did you staple it over the original white cover or did you remove the original cover first?

The white was removed, just took the staples out and shot new ones in

I know this is an old thread, but I've been trying to find out if the the darker colors and materials other than nylon will get too hot or be uncomfortable because of texture. I usually just ride in my board shorts and I don't want to end up with something that is too hot or chaffs my skin. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I have a yellow and black Hydroturf seat - haven't noticed any issue but ours is still nylon.
we decided not to get the grip material for the same reason, my brother & boyfriend often ride in shorts only.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was trying to find out. My spark is black and yellow also and I'm thinking black and gray vinyl.
