Does your product come with the whole seat?

We do not sell the entire seat unit with foam. We design and manufacture a sewn seat cover fabric which is to be installed over your OEM seat using a staple gun. Below is an example of our actual product and packaging.
How long do I have to wait before my order is shipped? How long do I have to wait before my order is shipped?
Luimoto produces many styles in hundreds of different colour combinations for most late model motorcycles. However, it is extremely illogical to stock everything. We know, no one likes to wait, neither do we, but the good news is that since everything is made in-house, we are able to produce the seat covers quickly and efficiently. Please allow approximately 1 to 2 weeks for manufacturing. Depending on production volume, we may be quicker than 1 week but can also take longer than 1 week. Please feel free to contact us regarding your order time. Custom orders will depend on the complexity of the order and on our custom order work load. We know this is longer than the usual goodies you purchase online, but it is well worth the wait! View our shipping and return policy.
What is the difference between the CF and SP vinyl? What is the difference between the CF and SP vinyl?
CF vinyl is a marine grade vinyl that has a carbon weave texture embossed onto the vinyl. It reflects in the light just like real carbon fiber. SP vinyl has a leather-like texture, look and feel; for those who want an enhanced OEM look.
Please note, vinyl and paint surface properties are different so a 100% match is difficult to achieved. However we have selected the best colours available to match your motorcycle. If you are ever unsure about the colours, please email us at and request free sample swatches.
What is your warranty policy? What is your warranty policy?
All seat covers are inspected before shipping. We will guarantee the quality of the workmanship, thread and vinyl for 1 year of the purchase date under normal use. Warranty will be void if the vinyl is at anytime of ownership, been exposed to gasoline, or other damaging chemicals.
If the seat cover is installed improperly, damaged during installation, or if the seat was damaged under any other circumstances (tipping the bike, traffic accident), the seat cover will not be covered under warranty. Also, using products other than the ones recommend to maintain/clean the seat cover will void the warranty.

How are Luimoto seat covers installed? How are Luimoto seat covers installed?
Installing the Luimoto seat cover is simple; however, it will require some patience. You will need a staple gun (an electric or pneumatic staple is preferred). Installation will involve some stretching and pulling. All orders come with detailed instructions. If you do not wish to install the seat cover yourself, we recommend seeking your local automotive upholstery shop. A typical install fee should range between $10.00 to $60.00, depending on the size and complexity of the install. Please remember, we are selling just the seat cover, not the entire seat assembly.
