    Cool Seat upholstery in Hamilton?

    My arse is sore – I did 1100 klm’s today and my arse is sore.
    My seat is worn and split, so I need to get it recovered anyway, thought it would be good to have some extra padding added at the same time – can anyone suggest somewhere in Hamilton that would do a good job for me.

    the bandits are shocking foam wise, they seam to very often have huge flaws in the foam, which make the suit useless after time. And need 60% of foam replaced

    There was a guy in Hamilton, Paul Gregory I think it was. He did several bike seats for me. Always a good job. He might have gone to TA though.

    The business was Paul Gregory Upholstery.

    They do brilient job dont they. Had a seat done with them on my old 600 bandit (sqaure headlight same shape as your 1200) and my arse has been dreaming of sitting on a Rider seat ever since I got rid of that bike.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round
