I looked at getting my really old and worn jacket modded last year by Kerrie, mainly seeing if I could get armour added and also whether I could get my really too tight leather trousers modded. She talked me out of it(and hersef out of some work) by recommending I just go for new leathers.
She gave me some good dvice on how to select some and made a few recommendations.
I subsequently bought some Quasi gear. Brett and Paula were great to deal with and I am really happy with the service and the quality of the gear. The jacket was tight enough to leave bruises on my arms for the first few wears but it now feels really good.
Cheers to both people.

Excellent idea. I ' ll be starting my own business early 2010. Am going to put up a seperate thread but briefly, will be bike painting and building specials, race bikes (road, drag, VMX) and early Jap restorations.
LOL...yeah but I'm good and I like a challenge! I did a scooter seat recently...chewed up foam, what was left of the vinyl was brittle and the kid who owned it didnt have the dollars to pay for new foam...If I do say so myself I did a darn fine job, Flashest thing on the bike by the time I'd finished!
You should see what I'm going to have to do to my Ltd seat to get it to fit my womanly butt and long legs...Sheesh! Should end up with small storage space under the seat pan just big enough to store a few essentials.

Later in year I will be starting a full bike building service, roadrace sidecars, post classic,restoration specialising in early jap,italian and american.

I dropped my bike and am keen to get it back in good shape , does anyone know of a specialist in tank repair . I want the best job I can afford rather than giving it to the local panel beater and hoping for the best .
DON'T USE Zinc and Chrome Ltd, in Seaview near Lower Hutt, Wellington.
The did a right duff job on rechroming my old VN1500's luggage rack and sissy bar. The prep work was really shoddy - I could tell they didn't spend anytime on rust removal between the rack's cross members. When I saw the job they had done I asked why they hadn't done between the spars and they said they didn't have a hand angle grinder, only a bench grinder!! Yeah, right! A metal finishing company without an angle grinder/polishing machine!! It's metal finishing 101!
Suffice to say it only lasted a couple of months. And boy, they know how to charge!
Crap job.
Expensive.
Poor customer service.
