    I've seen his work on a DR650 and can't wait to let him fix mine. I've also had him do a simple recover of a worn out Corbin before I sold that bike and he was quite reasonable.

    Figured I'd post here, rather than make a new thread; anyone know of a good place to get a seat modified in Springs? The RC51 passenger seat is as notoriously bad as I had heard before purchasing the bike, and I feel awful for the wife. Wanting to get gel and additional padding.
