"Honda" seat logo
Trigger:
It is so much easier to spray a stencil on than to fit a aftermarket seat cover ;)
D&K got all there seat covers from Bob and i know Bob doesn't heat press any Honda logos after his prosecution from Honda. They may get the covers from another supplier these days as, Bob has not done much since his massive stroke :'(

Of course, being brand new to this particular motorcycle and any suppliers of components for them, I don't have any personal experience with suppliers/the quality of the parts. So I'm relying totally on the experience of folks on this site.
Re the heat stamping from P&K, I was wrong when I said they were "heat stamped". I specifically asked what process was used for the seat logo on their Honda CB400 seat logo. The response from P&K was: "They are heat welded, as they should be." I ASSUMED (incorrectly) that it was the same thing so I said "heat stamped" in my earlier message but in researching I learned that heat stamping and heat welding are different processes.

Very wise, if you get hit by a piece of cheese you'll know that's a moon meteorite as we all know the moon is made of cheese.

Had white vinyl seats in a car and I painted them black with "vinyl paint." Didn't take long to start cracking, flaking, etc so that gave me a very jaundiced view of painting anything flexible.

There is a massive difference between vinyl dye and paint for vinyl.
