My pillion seat has a small tear in it, as it seems do most of the second hand ones for sale. Can anyone recommend a good place to get a seat recovered, or what other options are there? Its the standard orange type 3 seat and I really want to keep it that way.

I bought some vinyl and took it to an ordinary furniture upholsterer to get mine done. It's a simple job, but I don't own a staple gun with enough guts to lodge into the plastic underside.
If yours is orange than I would suggest its faded, only red and black were ever available.

Looking for some red vinyl myself does anyone have a link to a seller that can supply in the correct colour?
