Anyone know of a firm they could recommend to do a bit of sewing and stitching? I want to change the profile of the seat, I can cut the foam but would like it properly recovered in a different vinyl?

any decent auto trimmer should be able to do it mate. whereabouts are you?

if you are anywhere near baldock in herts, there is a great place there that i used to get my mini seats recovered a few years ago. top quality, and not too expensive.

A friend recently had their seats redone with gel inserts to a high degree of quality workmanship.Other friends have also recommended Vikings

I can recommend Viking too, he did both my seats with a gel insert for £180 and offers a one hour while-you-wait service if you go and visit his shop or does everything through the post if you are further away.

They do look super-cool on the bike Cool
