    Recovering seats?

    Hey all, I'm new to KiwiBiker. I've only been riding for a little while but absolutely love it. I love all bikes but mainly into the sport bikes. I'd be keen to catch up with anybody in the Bay of Plenty area for day rides. I'm looking to upgrade to a 600cc soon so any advice would be great. I'm an upholsterer by trade so pretty handy when someone needs their motorcycle seat recovered. This is a great site with loads of helpful advice. Look forward catching up.

    Did you know? Drinking water (or similar edible fluids like beer or coke etc) tends to cure human thirst?

    You're welcome.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Most foods also contain enough liquid to quench thirst, hence why a lot of people confuse thirst for hunger, take it from a fat boy not made by Harley.

    Yes, you are welcome.

    See, who cares. What's helpful is...

    It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full. Clearly there is room for more alcohol.

    Welcome.

    How much do ya reckon a seat would cost to recover? That sounds like I lost my seat and I'm paying for a recovery mission...

    How much would it cost to cover a seat?

    Your examples only work in small doses. 300 ml doses.
    Beyond that they carry so much sugar, salt and all manner of things biologically unfavorable that they have the opposite effect.
