I know somebody who could do a perfect job for you Mikey but sadly its a long way from you.I think with a one off job you really need to discuss face to face to avoid disappointment later :oops: ..

This guy has covered several seats for me and made them to the height and style I want. He's done my Lawson twice - the last time I wanted it raised up cos of my long legs, but the way he cut the material and placed the piping still made it look a really good shape.
Quick turn around and always a good job.

HI Mikey
Dont know if you remember my seat.P&P are great.They will make seat to any design then let you try it out with just the foam before upholstering it in any design.

PS get gell pads fitted.great for an ageing ass

Mikey, there's some ladz over the bridge that often have a stall at the THursday night Weston Bike nights. CB was going to get them to re-cover her Harley seat. In the end we bought a gel pad and we fitted it ourselves. She says it's made a substantial comfort difference. I went for the HD fatbastard armchair solution, which is more ugly but is bliss on a long run :D

Mikey

CB washed their business card in her Draggin Jeans :shock: , but we think this is they :D

The seats they had on display looked right on, but have no experience of their work - might be worth talking to them - if they're into custom seats they might be able to pass you on some plating and polishing work :)
