I'm gonna stab your new seat with my rusty screwdriver.
(Don't get excited, either. I mean that literally. lol..)

And sprock, that's not a bad option. I'm gonna practice by working on that spare VF750 seat I got. We'll see how it works out. At least it won't cost me anything to screw it all up.
They work good that one on my 93 is a recover job ....came out bootiful

Did the PO do it... or have it done?

I'd be half afraid to try and do it myself. I wonder what a shop would charge? I'll have to check around....

Well done that man!

Had a look at the label under the seat this morning and it is indeed by Tony Archer.

When I was looking on line for info, one guy said his seat cost him £170 plus his old seat in exchange. So a really good deal, it was from a breakers, so I don't feel too bad about it, if I'd bought it from an individual I'd feel a bit guilty.

Nice!

Hey Hawk, what is that rear rack you have? I'd love to get one of those. I've got the Givi rear trunk kit, and the rack is huge...yours is way cooler. Do tell!

I finally figured out how to get the bends the same: cut about 2ft long sections, bend both at same time. Then I just have to make opposite 90* bends and weld at the middle

Sold those leathers this spring just gone Sprock. Never seemed to wear them, my Heine Gericke black leathers are just too comfortable.

Those Richa leathers were really good quality though, just a bit too big for me so they had to go

Still got a Frank Thomas 2 piece just in case a track day comes along.
