BKS Grasshopper Seat Cover

[Con-Kartist]

Hey, I've been looking all over from BMI to Ebay to what seems like the ends of the internet and I cannot seem to find this style of seats cover. Pics attached. Any help in finding a reprod. of or another seat cover that would work in this ones place would be fantastic. The fabric on this one is falling apart the more I move it around and I know it won't last if it gets put back on the seat.

You are probably going to have to find an upholstery shop or someone who sews to make you a new one. Sorry, best answer.

Found one that's looking like a close fit. I'd like to find a cover that would fit this seat because if I go to get a seat cover custom made it would end up being close to the same price to buy a same style seat and cover paired together.

That’s a good price. It‘s going to cost about the same for me to make a seat cushion, and I already have a sowing machine.

He needs a seat cover, not a garden.

That seat is quite a bit bigger than a kart seat.

Yeah, my measurements points are a little different from the seat covers so I will definitely measure my seat to double triple check before ordering anything. My OP was hoping somebody had a BKS seat and had to replace the cover before.

I really doubt that you will find a pre -made cover to fit that seat. Your remark that it would cost as much to have one custom made as it would to buy a whole new seat and cover. WELL, that's kinda how the world works today. Do you want the original, or a new style. FWIW, a couple of years ago I had the same problem, except it was for a 2 seat kart. I bought two new seats. No regrets.

 

[Denny]

I thought it was spelled regerts?

 

[panchothedog]

No. That would be when that old spoiled food you had for dinner comes walking back up your throat.

I hate when that happens. I got to clean out the fridge more often. Hey, by the way what are you doing looking in my refrigerator?

 

[panchothedog]

I was starving for some old spoiled food. Why else would I be in there. But you ought to move the gasoline out to the garage. That will give you gerts as well if you drink it.

 

[Denny]

Wow! It’s like you have actually been in my house! I like the scent of the gasoline wafting through.

Hey, Con-Kartist, did you ever find a seat cover for these seats? I am in need of one on a BKS Groundhawg that I am in the process of restoring.

Find a trim shop to make you one with your old one as a pattern.

You're not going to find a seat cover; they are no longer being made and the BKS karts are ancient history. You're going to have to go with an upholstery shop to custom make one for you like Denny says. It'll cost you perhaps more than an original, depends on where you live.

Dusting the cobwebs off this dead thread...

The only thing remotely similar I can think of and that is in production, is the Azusa seat cushion. I don’t know the dimensions of it exactly nor as precisely as your photo but it looks the part. In fact, you might get the whole bucket seat and cushion as a retrofit for your kart.
