Right in your back yard is Dual Star. They have the surplus seat covers for
like $15.

Hey guys/gals,
I was getting off my bike the other day and got lazy and drug my boot
across the seat and one of the little bootlace hooks caught on the
seat fabric and ripped a little hole in it.
I ride a '00 KLR 650 with a stock seat on it. Anyone have any
suggestions as to a good repair? I'll gladly trade looks for
durability.
I live in Seattle so I don't have too much time before I'm forced
duct
tape it because of a rainy day, which I don't wanna do unless I have
to.

Add me to the list. Sold my '96 R1100RS and wanted a 650GS, despite
the fact that the nearest dealer for BMW's is 350km away. Fortunately
BMW was sold out here in Canada and I had a severe attack of common
sense.......
Spotted a '99 for sale in the 'Buy and Sell' for $5000CDN with
5300kms on it and within a week the deed was done, June 1. Since then
I have covered nearly 8,000km and started putting add-ons on,
including a lowering kit, Scott oiler and flush mount turn signals....
(just cos, OK!) One of Arne's racks is on order and some steel brake
lines. Because the bike was so inexpensive I have no qualms about
throwing money at it to really personalise it. I have never had so
much FUN with any bike (in 28 years of riding) and its versatility
never ceases to amaze me. I will probably do less than 5% of my
mileage (kilometrage?) off paved roads (and that will be only
gravel/hard pack) but the bike is proving a superb road traveller. I
had hard luggage on the BMW and will follow suit with Givis.
And best of all, ownership has brought access to all of you
interesting guys and gals out there in KLR list-land.
Safe riding.
Nick.
