Not around Auckland but you could courier it to McDonald motor trimmers in Tauranga (www.trimit.co.nz). Their work is absolute perfection.

Modifying car seats is a whole different ball game than bike seats.

Simple recover they would be fine of stock seat, but any changes to foam, is not a good idea. We have specialist foam made for us which works best with motorbike seats, due to its a fine line for being to hard or to soft

Hi Sennandy

What colour suede are you wanting? as normally there are normally many options in grey colours.

Your bike looks like its a dark grey, are you wanting the seat to be a similar colour or to be a different lighter shade?.

We will try and find out what the cost for the suede is so we can price up your seat.

We have fairly good knowledge about whats required in a motorcycle seat as all 3 of us here ride bikes (a ducati included!) and between us we have at least 83 years of riding experience and knowledge.

You can phone us if you have any more questions on 07 578 7903 or email us at mac@trimit.co.nz

Damn, I'm liking the service already.

Just out of curiosity at the moment, How long is the turn around time on a foam replacement? just getting abit fed up with sitting on the 4x2's they saw fit to put on the CBR1000RR.

Smokin turn around is normally you courier us set on monday, we courier it back thrusday so you have it friday.

Coming from westcoast not to sure how long courier takes to get to tga and back.

Have to have a good look at a seat on a cbr1000, to see what we got to work with. But should be able to do something at least
