500 Two-Stroke Tech

Hi all, Anyone had any success getting their seat re-covered to a good standard finish?

I will maybe check out my local upholsterer as well but keen to her if anyone has any success with maybe a supplier?

Cheers Vin

In my experience Vin an upholsterer is the way to go. The do-it-yourself kits sound appealing, but the end result is seldom what is desired. An upholsterer can repair any foam problems and give you back a seat that will look like it belongs on the bike. It is worth the extra cost to have a professional do it.

Judging by the response John I think it's the only way to go

It depends on the end result you want. Doing it yourself will always look like you did it yourself, regardless of how good the seat cover you buy is.

Not sure , I've seen a lot of upholsterer's jobs with stitches going in all directions .

Hello Vin
have you looked into this guy out Dursley way, there also used to be some one out Newent way but cannot recall who.

Not too complicated if you don't have two left hands...
