I was wondering what the best way to recover a seat is. My bike is teal, and while I dont mind the gas tank being teal, I do mind it on the seat. The bike is in really nice shape but it looks like it belongs to Barbie

It wobbles a little going slow, but at 50s its not good at all. Especially when I take both hands off. Going over curbs and stuff I can feel it a lot too. What would be a good starting point to try to figure out why it wobbles.
I am in the process of moving and I am required to drain all fluids from my bike before they pick up the bike. Does anyone have any tips or tricks I should know before doing this or is it pretty straight forward?
Also I know storing a tank empty isn't ideal since it invites rust, but since I...
