I used a seat cover [and replacement foam] from P+P Seating in Kitts Green, Birmingham. They do offer a re-covering service, although i don't know what they charge. If you are going to the show at Stafford they usually have a stand.

Mikey, I live not too far from P&P and have had work done by them in the past (it was a while back though). Last job was a one off custom seat base that they covered for me. I have to say it was an outstanding job and fast turnaround. You could do a lot worse than trying them.

Pasc what i want done is a standard Z1000 seat
edges were rotted away had new edges made and
welded on but could not recreate the original
spiked hooks that hold the seat cover on do you

Mikey, I don't see why not, but could not say for sure. Best thing is to have a word with them.
Here's their site

Good luck.

Hi Mikey
The lot near me are putting new sides on my Lawson seat.The top and piping on the edges were good but the bottom edges were wearing and had several splits.Only ?25 cash in the blokes mitt. If you send me some pics of your seat and hwat you wnat done i will take em down to him and see if he can sort something out.
