    I'm looking at getting my e-seat re-covered as it sustained a scuff down one side. Does anyone know anywhere that does this ??

    I'm sure there's a place down in Garden City near Queensferry, I'll try to get their name for you.

    If you get stuck, there's a place near me that does it, if you want to send it to me I could take it to them and get it done for you.

    Use this guy he is brilliant, been using him for years, he uses marine vinyl so you won't get fade in colour, if you sell the bike you can pull it off and the original cover is still there undamaged. :D

    He had a smart looking carbon look vinyl which he's gonna put a red stiched seam round the outer edges, should look quite smart if it turns out like i think ???? pics as usual when i get it back..

    Yeh i did really like yours with the leather side pieces. They also made up a slip cover to cover it when i wash bike or whatever. I just hope its nice to sit on and has some grip.

    I just got the company who recovered the seat to make one up. Just a simple bit of fabric with elasticated rim that goes over seat.

    Ah we did discuss the leather/alcantara route but the weather issue swayed me towards the waterproof vinyl..................... 'a simple cover he says' ...........dohh !!
