I put my own home made covers on, the vinyl fabric costs about £3 per meter off the roll, I genrally buy a few meters at a time as it makes good sidecar roofs too. Ok it's plian not patterned and no stitching - unless you want to spend ages replicating it. I never bother. You can if you feel so inclined cut and stich the thing to mould it to shape better, but it isn't really needed (just fold it neatly rather than leave a mess of ceases). Inpact adhesive and clamps do fairly well at sticking the new cover down and fairly neat results are possible. Best done on a nice hot day as the vinyl can streach more and takes more of the shape of the foam. I've done my 550/5k3 this way on a American inport seat base, and my Bmw r90/6 - think a few others over the years, not had to re do a seat cover or sidecar roof that I replaced yet, appart from when I altered the sidecar rear end.

I want to see pictures. I have images of a sidecar with a tarp chucked over it. ;D
