RSTD seat size for beaded cover?

[Dave77459]

There appears to be controversy about beaded seat covers. My wife would like to try one, and I will too. I note in some of the discussions that the beads will scratch the paint, so I want to make sure I get the right size.

 

Has anyone bought a Bead Rider for an RSTD? What size?

Hey Dave

 

The beads you buy made for the bike shouldnt scratch the tank. The ones I used are car seat ones and I have to be careful. Check out wingthings, they have a real good price on beads right now....I do mean a good price ...around 16 bucks.

Thanks. I wasn't too clear. If I buy ones that are too big, they might scratch the paint. That's why I want to get the right size.

 

Thanks for the suggestion too!
