Title: Suppliers needed
Post by: Paulgertie on April 29, 2007, 06:41:58 AM

After a replacement seat cover only lasting 18 months, I fancied having a go at making my own, problem is getting the material, yacht chandlers don't know of anywhere, can't find anywhere on the net. The bike is Honda XL600LMF and I'm after blue, not necessarily exact match, just near, also anyone know what red paint I can use for the engine?
Thanks, Paul

well, the guy who does my seats has loads of rolls of seat vinyl, all different colours, if you like, if you send me a pattern i'll nip in and see him, see what he's got.

not sure about the paint, #1 Son is about to paint the engine on his SRX, i'll see what he's using

Look for car upholsterers in the Yellow Pages, you may find something locally.

  Color Rite is a company here in the States that sells factory matched paints for about every motorcycle.

     They have a website, and make high quality stuff... very accurate color matching.
