Need my seat re-upholstered

[angelocardoc]

Hi

Can anyone recommend a place (or person) that can re-upholster my seat?

Looking to make it more comfortable on longer rides.

Foam is too stiff and it's angle is slightly off for my comfort.

Thanks in advance.

Just do it yourself its not that hard plus you save some bucks.

vinyl and foam can be picked up at fabricland...

and a staple gun at a local Walmart

do not buy any foam at a retailer. They sell the entry level quality and it will break down in the first five minutes of a ride. Overall life is about 3 weeks if you use your bike regularly.

Yeah, I sell foam for a living and know my jam on this topic. You can do it yourself if you have some skill and patience but if you want a quality job done then a pro is the way to go. I would try Zsolt of E.D. Motorcycle seat. He knows how to build them and he knows how to listen to your needs. He has years of custom experience.

If you want to try to take it on yourself, PM me I will help you out with the foam.

Fabric is one thing, you can buy good/better/best but with foam, people don't understand it so they don't know what to offer, ergo, the cheapest offering.

You are right though, this is a job you can do yourself. In the OP's situation you can often reuse the original seat fabric just pull a bit more before throwing a staple in it.

I know a guy named Len in Newmarket who does fabulous work - will do a gel seat for you for a great price. PM me and I'll get his contact info to you.

I have been using for two years camping Zotefoams foam sleeping pad on top of my seat and it makes my seat very comfortable. It's very durable, and it has a nice hold without bottoming out. You can get them at MEC in various thicknesses and sizes.

I want to install that foam in my seat. What's a good vinyl to use?

What's the going price for a reupholstery job? Say install gel pad, new foam, reshape and recover with new material.

One more week and I get my seat back, I will post, on how it turns out, and anything else, good or bad.

I went to them on a recommendation, saw work in the shop seemed to be of good quality.....they had good ideas, and helped out....

Sense of humour, is something to be desired there.....for sure...LOL
