    Seat cover required

    I want to get my old red seat on my GSXR750 redone in black. I also want to get my jetski seat recovered. Last time (3 years back) I went to a place in South Aukcland - a marine shop - and they did a great job but I can't remember where they are. Any good places anyone can recommend?

    SME in Whitford can get premade covers in to suit most old bikes. Just staple them on.

    Thanks for the info. I have a strong stapler, but it is not strong enough to do my jetski seat. I found a good marine shop off of the Ellerslie turn off I think about 3 years back but can't find the place.
