Place the cover over, turn it on it's side, put a couple of staples in one side to hold it in place, turn over to other side, pull the cover really tight and staple that side just to hold in place... then staple outwards towards the front and back of the seat.. pulling tight before stapling until the cover is fitted snuggly and secure.

I managed to fit one to my KTM's seat but don't fancy doing it again... doesn't help that the plastic is quite hard to staple into even with an electric staple gun. Rolling Eyes

not sure if this would work, but during the army days we use to put the boots in warm water, that softened the leather up, but we put the boots on straight after to shape them in

Don't use localised heat like a hairdryer it'll distort and stretch in that one area, put it into the airing cupboard to warm it all up a bit.
