Re Doing Motorcycle Seat

[FarangCravings]

Ok its time to start repairing my bike after an accident and the first thing I am going to need to do is repair the seat and need some advice on the best place for an excellent job

I have an expensive Chopper so while I know that there are many places that recover Honda Waves and the like I need a place that can do a guess Harley Style seat recovering and I want it to be a very good proffesional job that will be in line with the quality of the bike.

Currently the stock seat had fake leather type material and I would like to get real leather on the replacement I had a quote from a shoe maker who said he could take the old seat cover and make a new seat cover in real leather but could not attach it t the actual seat for some reason so binned that idea.

Any bike riders out there can suggest a place where I can get a choice of materials and a place that will do a good enough job so it will look the part.

Cheers

Wulhai Rd past Richco Motorsports, heading toward the airport, turn L at the JRD building.

About 5-600m down on the L is a small typical Thai upholstery shop that does quality bike work.

Don't use leather! I did it once and I replaced it after 1 year by the common plastic stuff.

Not only that it soaks wet in case of driving through even a short and local rain shower, even more it will molder especially during high humidity rain season. I tried anti-mold and -mildew spray and other solutions without real success. I use to cover my bike with an anti-dust liner, this made the whole thing even worse.

I'm sure you will regret it.

Ok thanks for the heads up on that I have actually read that during my searching

I have often thought of stingray for a custom bike seat.

Would give a nice grippy texture for those sphincter clenching moments

The shop that GT Rider references is great.

Can't need a new seat on your JRD already?
