Hi, I have a 1985 Honda V30 Magna (VF500c), and am looking for the best options to re-cover the seat which has a few cracks from age.

A local upholstery company suggested purchasing a custom fit cover with fairly thick vinyl material, that he could then attach to the seat properly, just like the original vinyl cover (albeit w/o the Honda logo on the back). Re-upholstering a custom made cover from scratch is cost prohibitive.

The problem is, I'm only finding covers that attach via a strap or two and are likely to slip out of place, and not be ideal.

Does anyone know of a good vendor that may sell custom seat covers for a 1985 Honda V30 Magna?

Thank you!

I recovered my Intruder seat using a cover I fond on ebay. It worked great and was easy to do.
Remove the old cover and just check the foam to make sure it is still good. You could add a layer of foam at this point if you want to beef up the seat a bit or even shave away some foam if you want to reshape the seat. Put the new cover in the dryer for about 5 minutes, just get it warm not hot. Have a hair dryer on hand just in case you need to re heat. Start at the front of the seat and work your way back. Once the new cover is pretty much in place start stapling it in place using 1/4 inch staples from the front to the rear. Use plenty of staples don't be stingy. Cut away any excess material but leave about 1 inch or more between the edge and the staple line. It is really easy. The key is to make sure it is stretched tight when still warm.
