Well last night I took the cover off of the seat, painted the underside of the seat pan, painted the metal bracket as well, everything looks good as far as the foam is concerned, so going to take it all now to the upholstery place, and have it recovered, going to be smooth as they cannot do the lines in the seat vinyl, and going to use a carbon fiber look for the new vinyl, and maybe since the bike will be white, might do the strap in a white vinyl, maybe, or it will be the same as the rest.
Still debating of getting a cover from pit replica, I just have not really really decided....
a few pictures
the skin....

the bottom side

the bottom repainted

the top as it was, no change

just the pan on the bike

A yellow seat....not really what I would do, but hey the foam looks really good, no mold, no dead spots, no lumps, it's almost perfect, that original cover held up really well and protected that foam perfectly, not bad for 30 years........

this is the stuff I was going to use for the new cover
