Just taken my seat to be re-covered by Tony Archer in Huddersfield (near the footy ground), Just wondering if anybody else has used his services before?

My dad recently had his 100 Fazer seat done and I have to say the quality is stunning, he had it done corbin style.

He can lower, add padding/logo's, just about anything you want, I'm having silver piping added along with the non-slip covering and a large silver Suzuki emblem stitched in the middle.

If anybody can tell me how to post pics on here I'll post pics of the results next week when I get it back along with his details if anybody wants them?

By the way, it's costing £40 !!!! :lol:

Thanks Ian, I'll send the pics on to you then cheers.

Unfortunately he doesn't have a website, he works alone in a little unit by the football ground, the quality of his work and value for money is top class compared to other work I've seen, he also specialises in car trimming.

His tel No is 01484 536832,

Tell him you got the number from Daz with the SV, I warned him he may get quite a few calls once I posted the results !!

Unless you want a new cover it's incredibly easy to lower or re-pad your seat...

I've done this twice on stock SV seats... If you want to use a non-stock cover then it gets tricky.

You're telling me... It cost me £95 to have my seat fitted with a Gel-Pad :roll: (You know, the one ART punctured for me :toss:)

I had my seat lowered by him, did an excellent job. Think it cost about £15. Did it while I had a walk round shops. He used to visit Rufforth autojumble near York, 1st Saturday of the month.

Not to steal the thunder of the new seat,which is ace by the way, does anybody know if I can fit a dual all in one seat to a K3 Being a bit on
the long at one end size I would love to be able to slide back on the seat when having a blast, but the standard K3 seating doesn,t accomodate the moving back of ones ass so as to really tuck in

Hey,

That looks nice; both seats. Although, I personally would rather have a seat cowl and just the front seat done. I think SpeedE-AmarkO's looks abit 'touring'. Either way, very nice seats! Moodyman can the Suzuki gel seats be covered? And arae they just a 'slip-on' cover or stitched over top? Thanks,

Mitch

As far as I'm aware they are a completely custom made cover to replace the old one.

£25 for that lovely double tourer? Oh my god and Suzuki have the cheek to charge 95 big ones for a gel seat! Rip off bar stewards!!!! :evil:

Where did he get it from?

Where did he get it from?

He got it from a bloke at Devils Bridge car park :wink:

PM him 'amarko5' - he doesn't come in here that often now...
