Cee Baily's has suspended seat recovering work.

I've seen good reviews from other members for Mean City Cycles. Check them out as well.

They get good reviews all around HDF. Having just replied to a seats thread by Bungo, Mustang list our models on their website, if you fancy a flashy new one!

I'd consider it, but it took 22 years to break in this one....

If I could find and OEM Police solo seat with the hydraulics, I'd definitely grab it.

I once had a rip in my motorcycle seat and I took it to the local old school cobbler and he was able to repair it.

Some of the rally's that I attend have a vendor or two that reupholster and upgrade seats, ie reshape them, add gel, foam, etc. while you wait.
Just another option to consider.

For a basic repair to prevent the rip from growing, you might want to try some Permatex Super Clear Vinyl Sealant Repair Kit. While they say it's clear, you will definitely notice the repair. It's just a stop gap to prevent the rip from getting worse. You should be able to pick it up at any auto store.
