well i post this every year when it starts to get cold because i don't wanna see everyones seat covers gettin ruined when they cost 100$...

seat covers will crack in the winter if they are the hard plastic style that come with graphic kits... the material will get cold and crack... it don't happen with just one brand either it happens WITH EVERYONE!!!!!!!! so take ur seat covers off and put the stokc one back on... if not ur seat will look like this...

this is after 15 mins of riding in cold weather...

if my friend with a blaster was to get a nacs seat cover, which he allready has a nacs graphics kit, would that also crack during the winter. it doesnt look like its glossy like yours. just wondering.

I've never seen this happen but thanks for the heads up.

the nacs won't crack if its made out of a fabric material which i think they are... it'll only crack if its made out of the hard glossy plastic on the sides...

I have the Nacs seat cover and live in frigid *** Ohio. The nacs isnt plastic, its non slip on top, with tacky fabric in the front. The sides are vynil if Im not mistaken and not plastic like the Factory FX or Ceet or any of those...

Is the Klotz seat cover made out of the glossy plastic?

Also, just how hard is it to change a seat cover??

Its not hard, or you could do what I do... I just put my Nac's cover OVER the stock seat cover. It fits just fine, and if you want to ever take it off like for the winter, you could just take the aftermarket one off and youd be ready to go...
