Title: srx seat recovering/ remodeling
Post by: shaggy on April 20, 2009, 01:34:10 PM
hi just looking at the gallery and had seen a number of srx with a seat "hump" andy230's i think who does these as I don't think I'll ever convince my wife to go pillion and don't want to have to start replacing or remodelling my seat units, I'm 6'3" so i think the hump my need to be a touch further back too so I can get behind the clocks !!

He's a bit of a luddite shaggy.....no email, no computer......works out of a big lockup in Kings Lynn, i'm happy to call in and see him on the way home from work.... basically all you need to do is send your seat and a drawing of how you want it to look, including colour/s........if you look at mine I would think it would suit your build, i'm 6' and it fits me fine....he's not the fastest worker.......you could be without your seat for a month.....unless you have a spare.....email me at pightlefarm@lineone.net let me know what you think
cheers

What about ordering an original cover from Yamaha. Anyone tried? The rear hump on my 3VN is a dark grey — as distinguished from the black of the rest of the seat cover. It's discolored and cracking, and so this was my inclination — factory replacement. The stock item is handsome enough.
