Looks very good.
Looks like they did a nice job! I am thinking of doing the same on my ST13. How much should I expect to pay on something similar to yours?

Looks very good but how comfortable is it? If it's as good as it looks I want one for my 1300 :bow1:

In Canadian dollars it was just over $400 taxes included. Still half of what an aftermarket seat would cost! Every re-upholsterer is different .. check around!

It is awesomely comfortable! .... and my wife can now lean against the topcase backrest without sliding into me, as the front of the rear seat has been raised 2" !! She loves it!
:Videolester: Looks awesome - who did it for you?
Did you need to spec out what you wanted, or were they able to figure it out and do it without you babysitting?
I'm in your neck of the woods, so a good reupholsterer contact might work out well for me.
Thanks.

Hi BC Rider! I sent you a PM with the shop details. I told him what I wanted, and he did the rest. My wife and I met with him again when he had the new foam "laid down" and we did a "test sitting". That was the time (before re-covering the seat) to tell him if we wanted any changes made, or were happy with what he did. He didn't want to re-cover the seat until he knew we were happy with the comfort level, cuz as you can imagine, it would be really time consuming and expensive to make changes once the seat is covered. Of course, you can pick ANY type of material you want for re-covering.
