【ALBA】Made In Japan Seat Cover Review

Easy to reupholster.

[How is it used?
We received an XR250 in a very dilapidated state and are in the process of restoring the functional parts and exterior.
It has been a long time since the production ended, and there were not many choices of Seat fabrics for different car models, but ALBA had a lineup for XR, which was a big help.
The purpose of use of the vehicle was unclear because it was given to me unexpectedly, but I was told that a junior friend of mine who enjoys playing in the mountains might be able to ride it, so I decided to use it for both daily riding in the city and playing in the mountains. A normal passenger vehicle." I tried to keep the following in mind.
How was your experience with it?
Even though it is a car model specific Seat Cover, is the price slightly higher than ALBA's other Seat Covers? I thought so, but there are not so many choices...
The construction was solid and we were able to finish the seat upholstery without any problems.
The thickness of the fabric seems to be as thick as OEMSeat, so durability can be expected as long as there are no protrusions or blades to cut into the fabric.
Perhaps because the fabric is too new, the surface was slippery during the test ride after the work was completed, but we believe it will settle down as we ride it.
How did it compare to other products?
Nothing of note, good or bad. OEMSeat Cover parallel." It's like
I have no complaints as this is exactly what we were aiming for with this Seat reupholstery job.
[Points to note]
This is an easy task compared to Universal Product's Seat upholstery since the product is three-dimensionally sewn for the car model. In fact, it may be more troublesome to remove the old Seat Cover.
As a personal tensioning method, I first fasten the front and back of the Seat with Tucker, loosening the tension a bit.:Pair (for Left and Right) Quantity at the time of the stakeout of the:Pair (for Left and Right) The tip of the sponge should be stretched evenly so that there are no gaps in the sponge, and the tip of the sponge should be stretched along the seat sponge without wrinkles to obtain a satisfactory result.

It is also important to be able to use the points you have accumulated at Webike.
[How is it used?
We consider that it can be used without any problem from playing in the mountains with friends to day-touring.
【Included Parts:presence or absence】.
A piece of skin for SeatBody, a tandem belt, and an instruction manual with simple tensioning instructions are included in the quantity.:Set
In this case, the Rear Carrier has a handle, so the Tandem belt is not attached.
[ITEMS TO BUY TOGETHER
Tucker (Stapler's slightly larger size) to hold the Seat fabric in place on the Reverse side of the Seat Base, and a shorter core for the legs (because the longer legs would poke through to the surface at the SIDE of the thin Sponge).
If you want to emphasize waterproof performance, you may want to cover the area between the SeatMaterial and the outer skin with Vinyl before applying it. If you do not want the skin to gap while running, it may be better to apply directly to the sponge without using Vinyl, and you should prepare a SiliconCoking agent to apply to the reverse side seam of the SeatMaterial.
Opinions and requests to Manufacturer.
If possible, several color variations would make it easier to match the car body color.
We would appreciate just having a set up for each car model, so please continue to sell as much as possible. View detail

Fit quite well.

GAG's Seat has a slightly different shape, but it's more than I expected.
Fit.
However, the installation is quite large and strange, as it requires a lot of pulling, fixing, and so on.
Be careful, because if you are not careful, it will wrinkle and you will have to redo it. View detail

Very good

I reupholstered the seat cover It is quite a hard work
I also put on the Waterproof Cover, which I managed to stretch with the heat gun I did View detail

Seat has become fashionable

I changed the color when changing torn Seat Outer Cover and tried it fashionably.
Dirt seems to be conspicuous, but this time we choose White ground. It is good to have more choices of Piping colors.
I think that Fitting and constructability are not different from other Seat cover.
Is not it better than Seat of bad name Honda for durability? View detail

It is thin but leather fabric.

The Draping process was not processed for the concavities and convexities of Seat exclusively for the car model, and the leather dough was just cut appropriately.
Actually the length was short and stopping with Tucker did not match the dimensions, it did not stretch easily, it was strange Large strange.
If you do this, you can make home cheaply for those who bought leather fabrics at home center or like Tokyu Hands. It is truly unbelievable business to say that selling such a thing exclusively for a car model this time. View detail
