Recently bought a riders seat from Chris numbers (thanks Chris, spot on) with the intention of getting it re-covered and possibly re-padded to replace the split and compressed seat on my curvy. Sent it off to Digger Seats in Newport, down in the southern end of Wales, and he has made a lovely job of it. New, pretty classy looking cover and some of the padding replaced/added to.

It was £75 including the return carriage costs, and it's really pretty comfortable. I covered over 200 miles on it yesterday and had no numb bum.

That looks pretty awesome in my book, very nice job. Looking to have mine recovered soon by a company local to me in Dover, hope it comes out as good as yours.

Having done a couple of hundred miles on this seat, I can say that it's a damn' sight more comfortable than the standard seat covering and filler. Highly recommended.
