BMW R1150 GSA Moter Bike Seat Re Cover...................


Hello  to you all.... well this is a bit of a different job.......A BMW  motor bike seat as you can see the original cover was in two tone colour ,The customer needed major adjustments to the seating height, as he has  long legs the seat height had to be adjusted as you can see in the pictures bellow, I hope you all like.

The angle of the front seat showing how low this made the seat.



                 

Here  you can see the shape that has to be reproduced when add extra foam




The cover all removed ready for my artistic side of me to have fun sculpting ....



This is the very first stage of gluing and shaping the foam.....slowly and carefully till it starts looking right.



There you can see the new foam shaped and ready for the foam topping to go on..... I used a specialised foam cutting electric cutter but a cheap and easy way is a electric calving knife.... dose the job as good.....Remember to ask mum before using...lol.



There all done ready for the top covering. again preparation is key to the finished look.... any lumps or hollows will show up now....very hard to put right.


All done.....just like that.... well not quite.....a few hours of stretching and gently heating the vinyl to help it stretch round the shape.




I hope you all can see the extra shape and height that i achieved..... if you need any help or advice please feel free to ring me or email me.
cheers Colin

  1. Great looking work.
    This may sound like a strange request, but I could really use the cover you replaced if it's available?
