Might have a go myself, just been reading how to do it on the net... can't be that difficult surely lol

loopy ..... try either yellow pages or Thomsons local and just find the nearest upholsterer or upholstery store and give them a call....you dont need a specialist "bike upholsterer" just someone who knows what they are doing with the right tools. Just 1 thing to bear in mind if you are thinking of reducing the padding in your seat it might become quite a hard perch, have you considered a custom replacement e.g. Corbin, etc.

Please feel free to ignore this random information since i have been at the whiskey tonite

hey ya Pegasus.... thanks for the info ! to be honest looking at getting the seat lowered/shaved is only something that i recently knew i could do - i will have a browse on the net at the customs too.... thanks for your help guy's

You came add me to the list now,nice day ,not so very cold but the amount of crap on the roads is unreal especially round the North Essex/Suffolk borders

[pookie]

have a look at this if you http://www.itrocks.com/motorcycles/gel_seat.htm

I used a dremel to do the shaving tho I have to admit buying one afterwards as I saw a really good deal on a suzuki official. Its pretty easy to remove the staples but hard to get the tension back when you staple it down. Makes a world of difference esp when parking. Good to see ppl out..must almost be time for a meet?

Today looks not so bad and tomorrow will be ok to clean the crud off. Saturday will probably require a tyre lever to extract me from the duvet and Sunday I may take the grankids sledging--------------------That is my prophesy which also seems to be agreed upon by Metcheck

Typical woman,always changing

managed to get the bike out today and as the jacket went on it started snowing but i thought **** it took me this long to get togged up im off well i froze them off but boy was it good to get out just waiting for a dry bit of road now

Good on you kidder but please be careful-----wet roads in the shade where the sun hasn't reached can hide some very slippery surfaces
