Ugh I thought I was going to get in a fight when I clicked on this, but it's just a harley golf cart. Argument avoided for now... Triumph all the way!

Mine was the Rustoleum "2x Ultra Cover". Supposedly binds to vinyl and is flexible. Amazon reviews were good so I gave it a whirl. We'll see how it goes. It certainly can't hurt anything as the seats are pretty rough already.

I found some rattle can paint specifically designed for vinyl. It had great reviews online and a couple cans did the trick.
Here's what I used to do the same trick.

It worked great. I've had people ride in the rear seat and the color did not rub off onto their clothes.

BTW, did you have the seats reupholstered, or do you have some magic coloring potion (like paint) (or maybe shoe polish)?

New seat covers are at least $200. No go here. I found some rattle can paint specifically designed for vinyl. It had great reviews online and a couple cans did the trick. I patched the biggest hole with some silicone and then painted 'em. You can still clearly see a lot of the cracks in the seats but that's why it's the "Booze Bomber" and not the "Cognac Cruiser".  Lipstick on a pig. A fun pig, though.

Wow, that sure came out nice.� If you get bored you can do my father's old EZGo in Kubota orange.� :-)

Now that is cool.
Very pretty restore job.
By the way, do you even play golf?

When I was in high school I worked as a greens keeper at a golf course at Lake Tahoe Nevada....

When they had a tournament they would get many of the * waitresses from the Sahara Tahoe to drive these things around loaded with booze...

We were always there to help if they needed a ride.....

I was just wondering the other day what had become of your HD.....good to see that you are putting those restoration skills to good use... :D

This was going to be my BIG WINTER PROJECT until I dragged home that other M38. Now it's been taking up valuable garage space but I have not allowed myself to move it out to the shed until it was done...or at least pretty close. It still needs some tinkering but I drove it around the yard tonight and have deemed it a success.
 
I decided to paint it to match my 3A - Potomac Gray with red wheels, gray seats, and black trim. All I need now is a small trailer so I can actually tow it behind the Jeep.

Behold the "Booze Bomber":

The Harley Davidson golf cart was a huge upgrade from the lead-acid rechargeable electric carts. The Harley would go all day long and many times the electric carts wouldn't even go a round.

In about 1970 or so when AMF owned Harley they marketed a bunch of two-stroke motorcycles under the Harley name..anywhere from 50CC to a 250..I think they were Italian made, Benelli's maybe....

Back in the day they were a major manufacturer of golf carts.  I have no idea how they got started in them, though.

Cool Ride 8-).� My history knowledge is pretty limited on Harley Davidson.� Must have been a slow time in the Harley motorcycle world.�

I think I'd like to see a video of you flying around in that beast!

It is a two stroke and yes the motor runs both directions. It does have landing skids on the front corners so I've been attacking the turns like a sprint car driver.

My dad had one...a couple of years newer because it didn't have that center tunnel that i remember .

Does yours have the 2-stroke that runs either way to give fwd and reverse or is there some sort of gearbox?

Don't turn hard and brake at the same time until you get a roll bar on it :D
