Question Bike Seat Reupholstering?

If you're located in Pasco or Hernando County and want to have your bike seat reupholstered with something custom, please come by our shop and introduce yourself! We're looking to do a few seats at a discounted rate for current TR Members, to be able to get our name out there to the Motorcycle community!

Right now we've got several Ostrich colors in stock, as well as several Leathers. We've got access to over 10,000 styles/colors of material, and we're looking for a few good members to help us get a few bike seats done and out there!

Hit us up in our TR Shop Forum, by email or phone, or PM. Whatever works best for you! Thanks

Thanks YBlegal! I got your PM and responded. Also, let us know when you're ready to play with that SVO If you want to go black leather, we got a deal on some black leather hides right now (we ordered a bulk amount and got a discounted rate).

Can you add padding to a seat, to make it more comfortable? Either gel pad or something? I might be interested in getting my R6 seats wrapped. LMK

Ink,

Affordable Covers & More can add closed cell foam to any seat/cushion for additional padding. We have some standard foam in .5", 1", 2", 3", and 4" in stock at almost all times. When doing something in the closed cell foam, we'll simply after order it in (too expensive to keep in stock), which would take us 1-2 days to receive. We're then able to sculpt, cut, sand, block, shape, the foam to form a more comfortable feel for you when riding. Obviously, we'd need rider feedback on something like this, and would be more than happy to make revisions to it if necessary after reinstallation. We're going to do whatever it takes to make the customer happy w/their new seat! Of course we'll then reupholster the seat in a material & color of your choice. Many times w/the addition of the foam, your OEM seat cover will not then fit.

As I originally mentioned, we're looking to pickup 2-3 TR Members' bike seats to be completed, so that we may add to our marketing materials, etc.

Thanks,
-Josh

I'm fine with getting it re-upholstered anyways. What do you think you would charge for something like that? Obviously I know a lot of times you need to see it to get an idea, but its a stock seat on a 2005 R6, I would want the driver/passenger seats both done. Depending on how it turns out, I know of plenty of people that would be up for this also. Thanks.

I am also interested in getting some work done by Affordable Covers & More. I'm in the same boat. I would also like to know general pricing to re-foam and re-upholster a stock seat, and possibly the passenger seat. Feel free to PM prices as well.

Hey guys, given that we're looking to make a few fellow TR'ians proud to represent some ACM work - we're really willing to work with you guys on pricing. We need a solid 2 or 3 bikes to get some work done, so we can use for photos, advertising, posts, etc. So we're really open to pricing for these first 2-3 bikes. Give us a call or email during the week at the shop (info in sig), and we'll talk in detail about it. Basically just looking to get the owner to pay for costs of materials on these first couple! We'll make our money on the business we pick up by being able to show our craft on these first few

Thanks,
-Josh

Bringing this back from the dead! Sorry for the delay in posting, here's a link to our TR Shop Forum with some photos of the motorcycle seats we've been customizing over the past few months.

https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/a...ml#post7242125

We'll be at a bike show tomorrow night here in Spring Hill to take motorcycle seat orders, and even have a few in stock that we've customized to sell possibly (if not, they're great display pieces).

Thanks guys!
