    Default Shop to recover a seat?

    I picked up a 1982 KZ750H as a project bike and one of the things I need to take care of on it is the seat. The current cover has ripped apart in several places and needs to be replaced. Originally I had planned on just ordering a seat cover from one of many online suppliers but none of them seem to stock a cover for my exact seat and it's tough to really judge quality from a couple pictures.

    Does anybody know a local upholstery shop that would recover my seat for a reasonable price? Any idea what it would cost? I know I could just google it but I'd like to actually hear from some people who have had this done.

    I'm not in a big hurry to get it back so if there is a good shop that is usually quite slow that is fine too, I won't be riding until the spring anyway.

    DeGreeve used to be very good, but it's been a LONG time since I've used them.

    Holy shit, they do! I'm going to get a hold of them and see what they'd charge.

    You can call Calgary seat covers, but I found their not exactly cheap, they wanted $160 to redo the seat on my chick friends CBR600.... ouch.

    Hi, just wanted to let all the bike enthusiasts know that the new location of Urban Expressions Wheel and Tire will be set up to re-do bike seats as well as any other upholstery needs in the next few months. My name is Jordan and I am the owner/operator of this location and have worked in the upholstery industry for 12 years.
    If you have any questions or are looking for a quote just give me a shout or shoot me a message and ill be glad to help you out.
    Thanks
