    Custom seat work

    Anyone know where I can get some writing work done on my seats for my street bike?
    And should i do it on the stock seats or get aftermarket ones?

    My interior guy is Justin from Seamless Customs.. This guy does million dollar collector cars as well as all my custom interior work. He just did the seats on an older Zx7r that I restored and customized for a client. I'm pretty sure he can do your seat cover with ease. here is his cell. 774-289-5344 Tell him Rich from Landric's Customs sent you. He will treat you right.

    Re: Custom seat work

    Ask Schleppy where he got his done before he sold his SV to me. It was really comfortable and cheap if I recall correctly.

    Re: Custom seat work

    I'm looking to get my seats done with more comfortable padding. I've looked at Sargent and Corbin offerings, but from what I've read, they're not that comfortable.

    I've heard of installing gel into the seats. How much does soemthing liek this cost?

    There is MDM Custome Upholstery in Merrimack NH. Met him at MCN Lowell. His work looks fine and he seems like a good guy. I have one more long ride on my V Strom seat and if I still have the issue I had, which may have been from cycling, I'm heading to him for a re-shape and gel.

    Swiftone, I think it depends on what you want / need done. For the reshape and gel MDM told me $220.

    Re: Custom seat work

    If you're looking for local service I can't really help you. But if you're willing to be without the seat for a few days I recommend this place. http://greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.php

    I had my Daytona seat reworked by him and it was a major improvement. He'll want pictures of you on the bike in your riding position and he'll want you to answer some questions about the problems you're having with the current seat. If I remember correctly, he completes the seat in just a day so you're basically just waiting on shipping.
