anyone know where to get a block of seat foam from? last owner of the bros cut it down a bit, so hoping to cut a bit to glue on top and build it up.

you could try the kayak place down sutton Pl. they make kayaks, kayaks sometimes have foam seats in them i think????


Anyone know where to get a motorbike seat re-coverd???

[Flynn]

I'd try Para rubber for foam and Auto Interiors for the seat recover or you could just try Auto Interiors from the outset and save a trip to Para Rubber.

took my bike to Wanganui today for its 120,000km service. While i was there i took a Honda DN01 for a test ride, (because it was the only 'bike' they had that i hadn't ridden yet)

and this is what i thought...........

GOOD POINTS

• realy low center of gravity
• quite comfortable

BAD POINTS

• fuck all pick-up
• fuck all top end
• way too low, you scrape the foot rests on the mildest of corners and all around town
• too quiet

so, would i buy one???
HELL NO!!!

Yeah like Flynn said, Para Rubber, Pete at Auto Interiors (Matipo St), Scott at Manawatu Upholstery (Pahiatua St), or Trevor Palmer (Jasper Pl). Anyone of them should be able to help you out.

Well had some goodies for the bike turn up just now, pity it's in at AFC atm... Mind you I could always fit it to the other ZX14 they lent me to get home on, must say that "limited edition" paint job does look better out in the sun but it's still not my cuppa tea.
