Seat Re-covering

Post by Plymo »

Hi Folks,

Anyone know of a good company / person who re-covers bike seats that's local to Plymouth? I've got a GPZ600 and i heard there was a bloke in Ivybridge who covers any bike seat??

I've got the material (bought off Ebay), however am finding it really hard to cover my GPZ600 front seat myself due to the shape.

I'd also like to get the pillion seat re-covered too as it's looking a tad untidy

Any suggestions would be welcome - happy to travel (approx 30 miles) / post front and back seat if cheap to do so.

Many Thanks

Gerry doesn't (or didn't) do seats. However - she does have a mate in Plymuff who does em. Gerry should be able to put you in touch when she pops up on here.

Thought so he has fitted some covers for me excellent job he does as well , I usually take replica covers for him too fit to the old yam seat bases, but i reckon he wold do an excellent job of making a cover as well, Is he still running the classic honda,
