Hi Can anyone recommend a place to retrim the oem seat I want the foam little harder, higher (thicker) with alcantara Thanks in advanced
I can recommend no other that Tophills on eBay mate. I'll post up a couple of pics in a minute for you. I have had both my Blackbird and SP1 done by him and he really knows his stuff. Really cheap also.
Here you go. I got him to add a little more padding and had him make them to my design. All for £50 The SP1 The Blackbird
Here is his eBay addy mate. He doesn't have any seats listed just now, but send him a message and he'll get back to u ASAP. eBay My World - tophills
Seen this in his sold items http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GS...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Im up his way in Falkirk in a week. Gonna contact him for a price and see if he can do a 2 day turn around as i'll be working in Aberdeen midweek in a fortnight. Who's up for a deal???
I would be up for that, I messaged him yesterday and not heard back as yet. I also live in Falkirk and hadn't noticed that's where he's based until I saw your message. Hopefully get something sorted out.
Just had a response back as he's been on holiday. £70 +£6 p&p to for thickening up for comfort, a perforated recover and a logo. Are you having yours done? And what logo do you reckon? I'd like Fireblade, but cant find one http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...d+patch+(honda,cbr,fireblade,1000rr)&_sacat=0
Good find, but I've opted out of a patch now due to lack of time to get the seat done in time for Scotland. Dropped the seat off at Tophills yesterday and bought a spare used one off eBay for just £15 while on the way up to drop my seat off (as mine has marks on the seat material). The spare seat will be stored for years to come when I sell the bike standard, then the retrimmed seat can be sold on. I'm picking it up myself when passing on Thursday as I'm working in Aberdeen this week. I'll post pictures before & after by using the spare seat to compare with.
He never got back to me. Just as well maybe as a couple of unexpected thinks have come up. Can't wait too see yours when it's done.
The extra padding etc is all on top where you need it. The seat fixings are all underneath and are as stock so fitting is no harder.
Couldnt have put it better myself. If you think of it like a mattress topper, he adds a thick layer of foam cut to shape on top of the original foam and then puts the newly made cover on.
Picked mine up tonight and have to say its a top job right enough. I haven't been out on it but have sat on it and its plush. Will defo cosset my arse on my trip down to Liverpool for the TT.
You should notice that you can ride for longer without getting a numb bum. We were doing just over 200 miles per day in Scotland and it was my legs that were suffering, not my bum.
