    There's a guy in the Springs who does repair and stuff on leathers. He's on the R1 forum.

    It's starting to feel like I am following you guys around.

    I can't recommend these guys enough. I had them do me up a front and rear cover in their Carbon FX material for a bike I had. It was nice and grippy and didn't get hot in the sun. Fit and finish was perfect. Quick to install and you only need a staple gun.

    Sew very old one.....Sew like the wind!!

    My 1930's foot powered Singer Rocks for vinyl and leather!!!!!
    Just did the seat cover for my KLX in carbon fiber (look).
    And yes, I can sew up something, though I'd recommend against letters.
    Even a little raised stitch can wear your ass thin.

    Check out Denver fabric on Bellview just west of Santa Fe for marine vinyl.
    Also Colorado Auto Trim off Sheridan on Mississippi for the best selection of colors/grains.
    And make sure it's MARINE Vinyl, not appolstery vinyl.

    Not sure what kind of stuff you're looking at getting, but I used LuiMoto.com for my seat covers and I think they came out very nice. It took me about 30 minutes of work to put them on.

    I saw a K1200s a couple weeks back who had his seat reworked by Bitchn Stitchn. Looked nice and he was happy with it.
