My mate just had his Ducati seat done in Alcantara. Says riding it is 10x better but he has to flee from the rain now! It's like a sponge!

I use alcantara. Maybe put some shitty old vinyl underneath to waterproof the sponge, then alcantara over the top for the non-slip

Yes you can buy it in black. Get faux alcantara unless you're a moneybags. Real stuff can be about £40-50 a metre.

got my lock set too this morning from china, for 22 quid its spot on, even if you only use the seat lock, well worth the money!

paint on the tank cap isnt up to much, but again, for the buck do,s the job.
