Newly upholstered seat has arrived.

Sent the seat off to Poland a couple of weeks ago for a re-upholstery with Wijalis and got it back yesterday.

I quite like the standard look of the box eye fazer, has something of a retro feel, but I do want mine to be somewhat personal. After much deliberation I went for blue piping to match my new blue brake lines (rear one just waiting to be installed).

Costs:
£125 in the eBay shop for the reupholster, including return postage.
€23/£19.5 to send to Poland.
I contemplated having the gel cushion added but it was an extra £45 and I didn’t think it was worth it. The seat feels nice and firm as well as much grippier on the turns. I think it is a touch wider and higher as well which is probably a good thing for lanky old me.

All in all I recommend Wijalis, maybe a little expensive compared to others on mainland UK (I'm a Brit abroad) but the end product is top notch.

That looks really good fella - as good a job as over here.


*closer inspection required and terms and conditions apply*
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

Nice job. The pillion seat looks a lot more comfortable. There's not much leg room for the pillion with the factory seat
