   I recovered a Yamaha Seca seat with vinyl.

   The contours weren't too complex and I managed a credible job using a heat   
   gun and stapler.   
      
   Any photos I can find for the Corbin DR650 saddle look like they use vinyl   
   now. Mine is leather and where the nose angles up sharply for the   
   aftermarket tank there is a sewn seam. Next year I plan to put the stock   
   tank and saddle back on. My long ride days are over so I don't need the   
   extra fuel capacity.  The stock seat was a torture device after a couple   
   of hundred miles to the Corbin wasn't that much better.
