Recommendations for motor cycle seat recoverer

[Eric the chicken]

Hi all,
Does anyone know a motor cycle seat recoverer that they could recommend? I need to get the seat of my 1100 GS recovered. Nothing fancy, just a standard job. Perhaps with a gel insert but I've had no experience of gel inserts so wonder if it's worth the extra cost? I could do an internet search but would rather have a recommendation from someone on the forum with personnel experienc e.

Regards Eric.

Tony Archer in Huddersfield is really good and cheapest I've found around here.

He did my triumph seat 8 years ago

Don't expect to take it in and get it back quickly, anywhere good is going to be busy.

There is a guy who works out of the industrial estate between Bedford and Kempton... 1st or 2nd right as you drive in. Andy ??
Can pm his number if you can't find him....
Makes narrow boat seat covers etc....
Did the seats in my kit car, turned them from cloth to marine vinyl..
Done an excellent job that's still good 5 years later

I found that to get my seat recovered with a gel insert would cost more than I paid for a brand new genuine NOS seat from USA !
