Just replaced the seat cover on Greg's Husky WR250. I learn't something today though.
I paid $50 for a ringmaster seat cover on Ebay which does not quite fit properly and as the staple gun i had wasn't powerful enough to penetrate the plastic seat I took the cover to First Class motorcycles who have fitted it for me for another $50 which is quite reasonable but I should have just taken the seat and foam to them in the first place and they would have fitted a basic custom seat cover for $120 or a custom seat cover with  ridges and fancy bits for $160.

Changed the inner clutch cover gasket on the 300.
Waiting a few weeks to get over surgery and back out on the bike.
