Upholstery

We can make small repairs and modifications to most any saddle. On most all motorcycles old enough to be considered antique, classic or vintage, the original seat is most surely perished. Even if the cover is still serviceable, the foam is long gone. In this case, we can refoam using quality foam , not some cheap carpet padding. Often, the seat pan is rusted and possibly even weakened. Many can be saved without too much effort… but once they have deteriorated to a certain point they likely are not worth saving. If the machine is not going to be ridden much, it can be worth the effort to restore and existing seat. However, if the machine is going to be used as the motorcycle gods intended, then it might be worth it to keep the original in a box so that it’s demise is slowed and get a quality reproduction. Reproduction seat pans, covers and complete seats are becoming readily available for all but the most obscure models. Many are of excellent quality and do not cheapen the look of a restoration. If you decide this is the way to go, we can source a reproduction seat, or simply recover and re foam your existing pan to suit.
