johnnymack63 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Can anyone recommend a seat recover-er ? My ZXR's seat is blue and I want it to be black. The rebuild is at full speed (engine not back yet) and it's looking pretty damn fine ! I really want to avoid putting the very last thing back on it (the seat) only to stand back and think "That looks really shit now. Wish I'd got the seat recovered" TT has moved the deadline to 3 weeks today. I reckon it's a tactic of his to win the fued ! Cheers for any pointers !!

No experience of Ross, but he has had a good teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Johnny, I recovered my own seat (with black suede) to stop my copious arse sliding around so much under braking on track, and found it to be really easy. You just need to be patient and do it in sections which allow you to keep the new surface nice and tight. Get some contact adhesive (brush applied stuff is best) and work from the top centre down. Then staple the loose at the bottom underside. Plenty of people on the internet sell off-cuts of cloth, leather, suede whatever so getting a bit is cheap enough, and at the end of the day, if you mess it up or you're unhappy with the result you can get an upholsterer to do it for you, but it really isn't that difficult.

David W Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 PP Seating in Birmingham did a good job on my ZRX1100. They'll even fit a gel-pad if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgy_tom Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Saxon Seats in sunny Dorset did a good job on my Tenere seat, quick turnaround too. Heartily recommended. I may have some black croc skin somewhere if you wanted something a bit different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will#224 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 You can buy Alcantara on ebay cheap and its a piece of piss to cover your own seat. Even easier with an extra pair of hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
