any tips on how to recover my seat, I had it done but it looks like a banana which annoys me I see Steve had some covers made but don't see them in the shop. How would I shape the foam so it would have a nice square edges and look correct? What sort of foam should I use to get a comfortable seat? Any ideas.

Road and race in Aus have them as well as demo-ducati in DE. The covers are very expensive for what they are, and fearing screwing it up and the costs of tools and sourcing the correct foam, had mine professionally recovered. It was not very expensive and I am very happy with the result. As for more comfortable, I am not sure that is feasible whilst still retaining the original profile. The whaletail is a triumph of form over function !

+1 on that! My Sport seat is more comfortable than my whale tail Darmah's.
