Replacement seat?
Couple of weeks ago I bought a new Bandit 1250s, beatiful bike handles great pleased with everything about it apart from one thing.... The SEAT it sucks, read quite a few writeups on the bike and a similar theme comes out.
Does anyone know where I can look to get a replacement seat without spending the $1000.00 plus freight that Suzuki want for their alternative.
I live in Tuakau near Pukekohe so am looking for something in Auckland or Waikato area's. Apreciate any help.Cheers

We make custom seats to suit you and your ass.
We are in tauranga, so not really that far away (200kms from center of akl)

They rebuilt the seat on the S3 for $200 + courier. Highly recommended - I suggest you give them a call and discuss your requirements. You will only lose your seat for a few days.
Here for the ride.

Don't dismiss Cajun's work. I've seen seats done by him and they look and feel really good.
Otherwise, good luck!

Hey man, how do you guys get on with sorting a new throne for the backsides of out of towners? I figure it shouldn't be too much trouble with the SV, given the crapness I'm picking you guys will have done a few? Is there some sort of black suede that's an option?

Out of towners, pretty much you courier us the seat we work our magic courier it back, we normal do it on same week turn around, aka you put on courier first thing monday we have it tuesday we put it back on thrusday so you have it friday.
I mean for best personal touch its best to have your ass and bike together, but alot of people can't do that, oftn a pic of you sitting on the bike helps (espiciall if we are lowering the bike), really dependson what you want to do with seat, if really modifyign seats it helps to have a bike to help with the lines of the bike, but alot of bikes we can find local to throw a seat on to check it works.
We have done a black suede we did it on DMNTD's zx10r pretty much leather turned upside down.

Same though...I've now seen a couple of their work examples, and the owners had nothing but praise for them.
So well done to them.

Cajun, are you able to repair rusted out seat bases? The GS1100 seat has been "repaired" in the past - mainly by coating with fibre-glass and building up the missing pieces. The cover is pretty good but the foam is sacked out, so I end up sitting more or les on the base after an hour or so.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

top class seats.

The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.

We can, full qualified engineer on site, but often its very hard to price up something like that until you see the base and see what needs doing to it.
Foam etc is what we do, we have special foam we have got for seats we use, we tested many types to get the tight setup
