Does anyone know what the fabric is called on the DP Race seat? I want to wrap the stock seat in that material to keep the original height but want the better grip.
 
It's not alcantara but a weird type of Neoprene.

I bought a big roll of grippy Neoprene from a local supplier which was already glue backed so I just had to cut it to size and stick / staple it on.

It works a treat and I've got enough material left over to redo the seat a few times so when it does get tatty I'll just recover it.

A pic would be highly appreciated Kam :)
 
What I have done with my past bikes is to just buy a roll of the automotive grade Alcantara or similar fabric through eBay and just have a local upholstery shop custom cover your seat. Works well and looks great.

Im going to try alcantara, Ill let you guys know how it works out. Im going to have him cover above the stock seat, to try and keep some waterproof ability.

Will it fade in the sun?
I've been hunting for the right material to retrim my stock seat for a few weeks now.
I've even taken both the stock and racing seat to 5 auto trimmers and no one has a clue what material it is???

So if there is something similar please let me know.

Did you have any luck or does anyone know what the material is for the DP Race Seat?

I'm planning on re-trimming both the stock seat and pillion passenger seat.
 
If you want stock seat height and grippier material, you can always go with the R seat or get a lumitomo cover.
