You could get a seat cover from Pit Replica and do it yourself if the foam is ok. I recently did mine on the Z1R and for my first attempt, I'd say it was as good as you get. Just use some plastic or cling film on the foam so that you can move the cover before staking it down.

+1 for Steve. The seat covers from Pit Replica are spot on. I’ve just done my A1 and I can’t be happier!

Ady,
I’ve just restored 2 Z1 seats. I bought the pits cover and the best
quality one that Z-fever sell (100 euro) The German one is
the monkeys nuts and far better quality by a country mile.
Here’s a few images.

Mike,
Is the seat strap an additional extra or does it come as part of the kit?
Regards
Steve
