R1100S seat

Postby Karl1000 » Mon Mar 25, 2019 9:15 pm

Hi, does anyone know of a good upholsterer on the Devon area who would be able to increase the height and padding of an 11S seat?
I also have a Sargent seat that could be up for grabs....PM if interested.

Where are you? There is a guy in Newton Abbot, didn’t have my seat modified but he did an excellent job recovering it and I know he has done on offs for some of the local custom/chopper lads. PM me and I will find his number if you are not too far away. I will ask around to see if there is anyone else.

As well as the guy in Newton, one of the young lads at work used a guy in Tiverton and Will give me the contact details if you want them.

Word of caution:

I just had my seat re-upholstered by a fellow who came with recommendations from riders.
OMG - total disaster.

He had no idea on how to handle the double curvature of the curved low-high rise, so he covered the whole seat with 1/2" foam and then stretched the upholstery tight over the lot. :evil:

Was so high and forward sloping that I was just about sitting on the tank-seat gap. :evil: :evil: :evil:

So first check they can handle that moulded curved part.

Cheers.
Real torque curves don't have a first derivative. :-^)
