Hi,

Cindy (my SV 650) has a few wear and tear rips in her seat which are getting worse.

Anyone in the Christchurch area know where abouts is a good place to get the seat recovered?

Cheers for your help!

Ask if they will do a bulk discount lol. I'll take in my Katana seat at the same time.

There is a bloke in Linwood Ave who will re-sculpt/shape your seat, he is not only an upholsterer but a motorcyclist, his quote for the work I want done on the Duke was shall we say realistic unlike others and he is able to get motorcycle specific vinyls such as the anti slip.

Now I cant remember the details but I can pop down there for a look and get them Monday, I should ask him if he will do a group discount

If you do pop in, ask him how closely he can match the 2 tone colour scheme of my Katana seat.

I had a seat reshaped and custom recovered a few years back by Auto Marine & Upholstery 369 Tuam Street (just over Fitzgerald Ave). 3775 406.

Excellent job and price, I've also had him work on some work vehicles. He does a fair bit of custom car work and they are very fussy.

I would not hesitate to use him again, indeed a idea is brewing for the plain jane Hornet seat cover .......

You should take the opportunity to consider a custom cover - something a bit different from stock - a textured/plain mix or even different coloured piping. Maybe sew a coloured stripe over the back or something.

Dunno about a custom-like the sound of it but I only think I will have this bike for another year or so.....

Dont forget to ask for a group discount (or atleast a two tone colour scheme).

Otherwise, be sure to write up a review of the quality of the job done so I know where to take my Katana seat.

I went to Agnew Bro- Recovering both riders seat and pillon seat for $100ish. I didnt ask about a group discount as thought that was reasonable. Dropped 1 seat of yesterday and the other today, both were ready to pick up thisavo but I didnt get there in time. No custom cover just got a standard black one.

Will update on monday when I get them how they look.
