Hi folks,
Does anyone know, or can recommend, someone who recovers seats?
The riders seat on my curvy has a small split in it now and I thought I may as well get both done at the same time. I much prefer word of mouth to taking a stab on eBay.
Thanks in advance

They're fairly easy to do yourself if you just want a quick job.
This is mine I did recently

Not used them myself but ive seen this guys name mentioned a few times on the org. Tony Archer (http://www.tonyarcher.co.uk/)
Tidy job DD :)
I did a diy job and was impressed. It took me and my dad an hour and a half, and alot of swearing but only cost a bit of leatherette, £3 or so.
I bought a pre-made cover off ebay from custom covers. It's easy to fit with a staple gun and there are youtube videos by the guy. You leave the old one on and cover with the one of your choice. I can highly recommend this.
