    Default Custom Seat Upholstery? Any body know?

    I need to find a good Upholstery shop that can do some custom work on my bike seats, does any one here know of a good local shop? I would greatly appreciated. Looking to do suede like the one on the Agusta MV's, and have a little more cushion put on the back seat so my girlfriend stop b*tchin about it.

    Ok, how about adding padding on the rear seat? Give me an idea on cost if you can and how long will it take to get done. Do you work or do upholstery as a trade or you just do it on the side? or better put, what experience do you have with upholstery of this kind?

    Thank you by the way for you help!

    Because my girlfriend keeps naggin about how hard the rear seat is and how much her A*s hurts after a ride. So I just wanted to add some extra cushion to make it a little bit softer or more comfortable for her. I've seen it done on some bikes.
