Pillion seat lining

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer, or a site where it is possible to recover the padding and leather upholstery of the rear seat of the long model (not the first model, the second one with the frame and the rear springs, which then to the end of the war shortened it).
Thank you

I've just had the riders and pillion seat re covered by Leightons. First class job took a week to complete.
Not cheap but really good quality.(£170)
The down side is they have just lost a member of staff so they are quoting 4 weeks to complete this
sort of job.

Do you have a contact email? Do you know if the upholstery and the best possible, and if is it of real leather? ... for the waiting time is not a problem

Hello, I thank you for the contact, but they told me that I can not make the seat with the padding front and back like in the original, I can only do it flat / smooth. But it would not be faithful, so unfortunately I can not ask to him.
Thanks anyway

Re: Pillion seat lining

Mauro I had a small batch of these made by the best motorcycle seat trimmer I've ever known. They are perfect! Of course all used now. Is this the type you are looking for?

Sadly the guy has some sort of mental problem and it seems impossible to rely on him anymore. I do know of another guy but will need to get his contact details off another friend to ask him about this. Ron

Hi, it's correct. It is exactly the model I meant.
If you find me one of these paddles, you will have helped me a lot

Many thanks

Re: Pillion seat lining

OK I've sent the first guy an email but I expect no reply......We'll see. In the meantime I've acquired the phone contact info of the other guy and will phone him later as I need his email address for pictures. Ron
