There is a place just outside Crawley that makes seats
It's called P&D customs

May be too far though

Not close - postal service, good price. Did my Tiger seat after sending him a spare from Ebay. Repacked it, reshaped it, recovered it with piping to my picture and posted back - £140 all in. He also did Billy Connellys seat for his trike he road round Britain.

P & P seems to be very professional but you pay the price-
£295 with a gel insert for rider
£340 for rider and pillion,
They are also shaped differently and all reviews claim them to be the most comfortable, but you are paying for an entire seat unit, not sending yours off to be recovered!

Digger's work is excellent but pricy, Tony archer in Huddersfield is a little more reasonable.

I've got a Tony Archer on my Fazer but it was on the bike when I got it so I don't know how much it cost. I've also got one on my FJ

Strange that you've got a foxeye but no tuning fork logo on the tank, I thought it was only the 98-01 models which had "Yamaha"?

I really wouldn't know to be honest. It was like that when I bought it and although it was a Cat D and has some crash damage I don't think anything has been resprayed or replaced.

The 02 Foxeye had "yamaha" written on it, while the 03 got the badge.

Recently discovered a small split in the cover of my seat. Guy I got my tyres fitted by today recommended a place called Cobra Leathers in Swindon, to get a custom cover made for it. Anyone ever heard of them?
