Re: Replacement stock seat covers.
Or just take it to an upholstery shop. That is always my choice. I get the seat back looking identical to stock and not looking like a blind monkey fit a cheap Chinese cover.
By the time you pay for the cover and shipping in US $$ the price to have it done professionally in Canada would be about the same.

Re: Replacement stock seat covers.
I'm looking for the original style RD350LC seat cover 14CHEEKS. PM with a price. I'm also going to inquire what Jon suggested.
Re: Replacement stock seat covers.
$80 to have the cover created locally. Wanted $200 to have it fitted. Interested in trying it myself. Advised to warm it up, in the clothes dryer, prior to stapling. May take a while to see how it goes or not. The only current concern is hopely the new cover will not bend the seat pan.

Re: Replacement stock seat covers.
I can shed some light on this as I have done more seat covers over all these years than I care to remember on to many bikes.
RZ seats and covers are very basic so are done easily. You need just some basic tools, dikes/wire cutters, heatgun or blow dryer, staple gun, pnuematic preferred but not necessary and good flat working serface that you can stand over.
Start by warming up the seat cover by sitting in the direct sun or dryer. Then when warm and plyable slip over the foam and pan. Line up front to back. Put a couple of staples in the front to hold in place then staple the back in the same way. Start working the sides from the back towards the front pulling and stretching down and forward. Go partial down one side then over to the other. Heat up areas that need to be streched to keep unifromity with the heat gun. You might have to pull some staples as you go and redo but this is a 20min job at best. Or a beer and half. lol
Also I used this cover in black and it is a very good facimially albeit sewn seam verses the oem welded seam;
