Custom seats?

Can anyone help me out with contacts for getting a custom seat for my Zed?? The padding isn't so much an issue (got enough of that on the riders side of my leathers!!) but the thing is just too darn narrow!!!

I don't want to modify the original (rather keep that as it is) - fist choice would be to buy a true custom or otherwise I'll buy another original seat and have it modified.

Any contacts anyone?

I have bought a seat from George at Metzi and am about to order one for the Gixxer. The service and quality are second to none....

It was around $250 Paul. The picture doesn't do it justice- he did an amazing job! They are made from the same vinyl that boat seats are made from, so they are very weather resilient too.

He's great isn't he? I am in the process of getting one sorted for the Gixxer at the moment- my second one from him.
Let me know how it turns out- would love to see pics! 8)

You could say it's like a signature for me . . . first thing I've done when I bought my bikes.
I use an upholsterer in Penshurst (don't have his card on me atm, and if you're still looking let me know and I'll find his card) - and have been really happy with the jobs tbh.
I did the pink and orange seats on the ZXR years ago and seats still look like new imo, and not long ago got the green seat on the ZX9. ;)
