Mastiff/Baggy Custom Saddle Who knows where in the UK

Postby Black Pussy » Fri Mar 08, 2013 3:16 am

Anybody had a saddle rebuilt in the UK?. :?: Looking to have a custom saddle made out of my old one. Anyone know where to go in the UK?. :idea: I have found one guy willing to do it, but he has never done a baggy or that type (trailie) of saddle before. :cry: Someone who has already done one would be better. :wink: Suggestions please :roll:
Cheers Mick :smt006

Check out Leightons in Birmingham. They do all sorts of seat recovering and are really good. They did a V-Max seat for a few years ago and made a fantastic job of it and it's a complex unit as part of it is on a hinge to allow access to the fuel filler.

I had mine done a couple of years ago,best improvement to the bike possible!
I had a section`added`at the front to make the top surface all the same level,i think its the sort of thing i feel any upholsterer should be able to do.
Go have a chat to one local to you and see what they say.
Perhaps i was just lucky?
