Motorcycle seat re-upholstery needed

[russc2542]

The nice thing about this place is there's enough population that there's almost always someone that has an answer.

I've come into possession of a spare seat for a good price, I'd like to have it repadded to better fit my height. I'm figure someone on here would have had a similar situation in the past and have some suggestions in the area. I'm in Columbus, there's gotta be places not too far away that do bike seats, say within an hour-hour and a half drive to include Indy and Louisville?

Can't help you on anything local but depending on the bike there are kits available online. Don't know if they'd have anything beyond a "stock" rebuild though.

Following to gain info. I need a seat redone too. I’m wanting a gel insert tho.

There's a place in Jonesboro.. ride and Leather does a great job and can even cut seats and install gel/tushy cushions for you or passenger 765-674-7448

Fabinis or marquardts here in fort Wayne, I've used haifley bros in az but they don't do much. Also pierce st in Milwaukee does nice work.

Barb Nolte in Brazil does nice work. And she's about 5 min from pro-tec if you ever go there.

Jonesboro rebuilt my Goldwing seat to fit bony butt so I could flat foot it. Did a good job, gel pad and new foam.

It might be to far for the OP, but you might check Barry's seat cover in South Bend.

+1 for Ride & Leather.

I can't help with a recommendation but I bought a seat Concepts seat for a DR650 and took it to an upholstery shop near 56th on the east side of Indy and the lady wanted like $200 to staple the cover onto my seat pan. I shipped it back to seat Concepts and they did it for like $25.

I'd do it myself if it were just reskinning the seat. Wife and I did re-skin the seat for my old bike, a '77 Suzuki GS400 but that was a pretty straight seat. Wouldn't say it within her earshot but I'm as handy with a needle and thread as my wife, if not moreso but don't trust myself to alter the shape.

Sounds like a few people have been there and liked it. A bit further than I was hoping but within what I've done in a trip on the current seat.

DOH! I was just there for the open shoot LAST weekend. About the same distance.
