Any Recommendations For Upholster To Make A Saddle

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Old Jock, Apr 9, 2018.

  1. I'm ashamed to admit it's not for a Ducati but their older, slower, heavier brother a Guzzi.

    Getting a tail single tail piece and being supplied a fiberglass base for the saddle, so I need to an upholster/saddler to make me up a saddle. It's not here yet so I can't post a pic of the saddle base, but pretty sure it will be just that a sheet of fibreglass

    Picture of the tail piece I'm hoping to copy, the tail piece should be fine it's just the saddle. Thinking of Alcantara or leather (the bike will not be seeing any rain if I can help it)

  2. Send it to Shane allard upholstery, 07553 354 792, did a great job on my streetfighter seat for a very good price, nice chap.
     
  3. There’s an upholsterer in Huddersfield called Tony Archer - [email protected] and ‭01484 536832‬

    He’s got a good reputation I believe.

  6. again oldest jock, get yourself down to docks and look for a sail maker. owan sails in benderloch do the odd bit of motoring upholstery. they quoted me once for a job on my aprillia a few years back.
     
  7. Get yourself down the docks and look for a sail maker!! :)
    Doesn't in the slightest sound a wee bit dodgy!

  8. I've used tony archer before based above Manchester. Always very busy & has a number of staff'
     
  9. It appears that the problem might resolve itself, Magni in Italy is now going to get me the saddle upholstered (I think)

    But this is still super useful for me as I have another seat that I want to get redone

    Once more many many thanks to everybody, up until now I've just been floundering around now I have some real solid information to follow up on
