FarangCravings Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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.

Hog Head Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 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.

Hog Head Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
