New Bohemia, Va | She isn't a storefront (works from home), so you need to call first. Getting in contact with her can be delayed sometimes since she works on site at marinas doing boats. She had a pretty good selection of leather and skins too.
I believe I've talked with her in the past to do some design work for my dash bag, but never got round tuit. I figured when I was ready I'd give her a buzz and then take down at a convient time. I'm looking to order the Victory leather seat if it is all leather. If not, I'll get an 8-Ball seat and swap it out and have it leather too! I passed seat 101 and know that leather is the way to go!

Tucson , AZ | Leather is great..... but it will shrink in extreme hot or cold, tends to be a little stiff. Vinyl is much cheaper and will endure more through out the years. We offer a seat at HMD... its custom built. We replace the foam with memory foam and recover the seat. The memory foam is much easier on your tail. We can also lower the seat height 1-2". We can do custom stitching as well. Let us know if you have any questions, or if we can help in anyway.
Thanks for looking......

Goldsboro, NC | Thanks for all the help, guys.
Although I might have like to do something a bit more special, what with different materials, padding and stitching... I found a local furniture upholsterer. This guy's son does a fairly brisk specialty business in motorcycle gear. He salvaged everything but the forwardmost section of the vinyl. The part that the rider's butt is on. He replaced that with heavier vinyl and left just a wee bit of slack. That way, when it does shrink up a bit, the seams won't be compromised.
A good job at a good price. Two days and 50 bucks... I think I got off easy. I'd recommend this guy for any utility-type work like this. He may even be able to do fancy stuff, but I don't have the experience with that to say for sure one way or another. Jesse's Upholstery in Goldsboro. |
