seat's back from upholstery

Post by alec »

Hi all,
just picked up my seat from the upholsterers and it looks fantastic on the bike, he used heavy grain top grade vinyl, new sponges and rubbers, and also put extra sponge for the riders seat part making it more comfortable, so now have comfort and style with speed, also done away with the leather grab strap to make it more sleek and modern looking

if anyone wants his number pm me, he's located near west malling in kent. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Post it up in Dodgy Dealers, Best dealers section.

Does the pillion seat cowl still fit?
Often they won't go over thicker padding.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

yeah tried it, the rear lug stops it from pushing down far enough, my cowl's cracked anyway so no loss really,

I've got that grab rail and it looks identical to ones I've seen with the cowl on, but try as I might I can't get it on either!

its a bit pointless having a grab rail tho if you are going to fit a pillion cowl lol :roll:

Mine is the Corbin basket weave type gel padded seat I bought of triggeri (think that's how you spell it) on here and it is extremely comfy, as bit like memory foam for your ass..But, my seat cowel does not fit over the seat at all, but I suppose, when you feel like you're sat on a breeze block all the way to Swansea n back (dave's words not mine lol) comfort would come before that cowel ....I think its around £150-£200 on

I think! mine has the trim on it. I told Dave we will have to get his seat sorted for this year, so maybe give this a try if you think it is well worth the £50 and much more comfy than the orginal?
