That looks a a good shout Andy👍 My only concern is the blurb saying it works by bleeding into the fabric. I would worry it bleeds out behind the stencil and makes it look crappy. I would hate to have a ruined seat cover. Guess it would need to be tested on a bit of the old cover first or on an unseen piece hidden underneath.

bit of servicing to do, nice day so I thought I'd have a quick run through the tappets. I'm not quite sure how it happened but looking at it, its still got 250 rocker arms, I could have sworn I changed them when I put a 400t camshaft in it. oh well no big deal, I found one set of 400n rockers no problem, could I find the other side? nope. a fruitless 2 hours of searching and nothing, so I 'borrowed' the 450 nighthawk rocker gear and fitted that. just as I'd tightened the rocker cover on guess what I found , yep the other set of 400 rockers. oh well, saves me buying a new set for the nighthawk.

nice bit of kit this, they really fit well and someone has put thought into the design, not cheap but you cant have it all dismantled for fitting one of the inner spacers had some pitting/wear so robbed a nice clean one from a german swinging arm easy to fit, just pulled them together with a handy nut, bolt and washers and this is what I mean about nice design, theres a gap between the two bearings to allow the grease nipples to do their job and all back together again, except the stator cover as I'm going to have another go with the strobe light and cdi

feels very positive at the back end, I'd be quite happy to fit these to any Superdream as long as the spindle spacers are in good condition
