    Hi.

    I recently got a '21 Speedmaster. I would like to have the "comfort" seat (A9700383) recovered. Any recommendations for saddle customisations?

    Cheers,
    Biff

    Hi Biff, I can’t help with any local upholstery shops, but have ordered a replacement from Corbin after using the “comfort” seat for two years :cool: their designer app could help you with ideas

    Just picked up my reupholstered "comfort" seats. Got them done in auto-vinyl by East Coast Customs UK (https://www.eastcountycustoms.co.uk) over in Essex. I didn't want leather - too much maintenance required, and although I liked the Corbin, I wanted to keep the Triumph seat mounts.

    I think they've done a great job.

    Very Nice job!

    I had my '04 Victory Touring Cruiser's Mustang seat and passenger pillion done in elk leather. The fringed lever covers are done with the foreskins of two adult mountain lions I killed myself with a pocketknife.
    OK...I'm lying. I used a Bowie knife.
    Actually, I'm lying about the whole thing. The seat is faux leather done by a local upholstery guy. He also just redid the headliner of my '06 Explorer. It's great when one finds a local, honest craftsman who charges reasonable prices. Another shop wanted $800 for the new headliner. This guy did it for $350 and the work is outstanding.

    I only got mine done because I wanted to change the colour. I'm not sure what the limit is.
