    I've been looking for months to try and find a lime green pillion seat from the 2010 250R to shove on the baby Kwacker outside, but to no avail. So does anyone know anywhere that could do one for me? It would just be a cover stitched onto the current seat I imagine..
    The back of the bike is getting wrapped in black vinyl to hide the scuff marks from my stupid boots so I thought a green pillion seat would set it off.

    Anyway, anyone with any ideas/information on it would be awesome :thumbsup:

    Try this guy, he's a one man band, very good and accommodating, he's called Matt, mention that Kev from up the road put you on to him and it might shunt you up the queue a bit.

    As above Jazz most furniture recovering companies have all the vinal you will need and can do the job in minutes, there's a really good one in Buckley near Mold that I've used before.

    Dirty bugger, you'd make a fortune renting it out to folk :bleh:



    I emailed the first one, and the guy quoted me £40 to do it, they've already got the fabric in the colour I need. I'll have a walk down to the furniture shop during the week and see what they can do for me though!

    That won't help :p

    Just kiddin' luv.

    Ask the guys who have the vinyl to compare it to the actual colour of the bike. It may be a faded green or what not and may not look right.

    Did you get ya seat done?

    I had a total mare the day i was going to see them.....thought my head gasket had gone and went into panic mode.

    turned out to be condensation build up from just riding to work.

    If you did get it....are you happy and would you recommend them.....cheers.
