    I've had good results from a product called "Tear Mender," which you can find in many hardware stores.

    Good Luck!

      Yes, "tear mender" will work for a little while. I've used it to repair other items, and it seems to break down quickly in sunlight. It holds up fairly well on things that are covered, though.

      The only real fix is a new seat cover:
      B&H Specialties crafts hand sewn replacement motorcycle seat covers for ATV’s, motorcycles, scooters and trail bikes. We have a wide variety of patterns including a large selection of vintage motorcycle seat covers that are almost impossible to find elsewhere. We are family owned and located in Texas. Since we began in 1984 we have shipped to almost every country in the world. Browse our catalog and if you don't find what you need, contact us. We can handle custom orders.

      Very high quality, very well made. Just don't get the basket weave look material -- it's perforated.

          i found a place that does reupholstering. had a seat recovered for 75 bucks. I took the seat striped down. all the plastic and hardware off. he took the old seat and made a new cover. I had mine done in basic black, but i bet the shop would of done it in any color i wanted.

            Duct tape?

            I used a vinyl repair kit, then some stuff called seat color. It looks really good.
