Seat Reupholster

[lemond]

I am planning on Reupholster my stock seat and planning on buying leather hide from the web. anyone else had DIY or know how big of a cut (9 sq. feet??) of a piece of a cow I need?

[marylandmike]

I did mine a while back in Marine Vinyl. I didn't really measure the piece I used, because I bought a yard of 54" wide material, but I think about 2' X 3' should do it.

New Seat Cover

thanks mike, my searching skill is lacking, I am planning on doing a tan leather to give the 9er a face life with a white tank / tail combo.

I've literally had the same idea since I bought my 919 new in '07. Faded oxblood saddle, pearl white tank with a single black-red offset (1/3 to the left) pinstripe down the tank/tail.

This looks to be very comfortable. Although not sure the looks are quite as good as a Sargent, this still looks very nice.

I came up with this:

One more, deeper color black I think. I used the Pin Pricked Mat (sic) Black (Very last color) and the Black Carbon (18) for the black colors and the piping was Dark Red (30).

This is more you G00GL3

Got some info - these suckers are pricey.

If you want to do this, build your seat on their website, print out or save the order form and email it to: bagster@cimaint.com

ATTN: Joe.


Average pricing is $500-550 (but that's probably because most people choose the gel insert).

The Corbin is the same price with a passenger backrest, but, IMO, is UGLY.

Here is a pic of it on a 919 and I think it looks very nice:

Oh, I should mention. They ship it to FRANCE....

[g00gl3it]

Did I mention they ship it to FRANCE??????????????



Just making sure, cuz that needs to be mentioned. THEY SHIP IT TO FREAKING FRANCE.

$500 thats a lot of money for such an easy job i think it took me about two hours from start to finish.it was four pieces if i remember right one in front and two for sides and the main cover.you are going to need an air stapler with 1/4 inch staples any longer and it will leave marks in your new cover so be careful.

Yeah, I would have no idea how to do it that nice though... and I only have one seat to muck up on.
