Custom Seat Shop

wally walrus · 12-21-2021, 09:29 PM

Anyone know of any local upholstery shops that they have used or know specialize in custom motorcycle seats?

Looking for a bit more padding for long journeys on my Tuono V4. My main objective would be to get a comfier seat but figured while I was at it might be nice to do a custom design.

Thanks in advannce!

I wonder what Corbin makes for your bike year/model...?
As far as local shops, there a ton of them all over town but this guy here has good reviews and seems very professional

The stock seat on the 2016 Tuono and up is extremely comfortable.

Sargent may re-do your current seat but they arent local.

I have a seamstress that does all my stuff out in Conroe. She can add padding to yours. Let me know if you want her info.

I looked up Corbin, unless they just haven't updated their website the only option I've seen is for the 06-10 Tuonos. Upholstery Houston is right down the road from me so I might stop by there on my lunch break and see what they've got to offer. Appreciate the help!

I would advise everyone to think more often about replacing motorcycle tires.

I would advise everyone to think more often about replacing motorcycle tires. Oddly enough, the myth is spread all over the world that tires can serve for five years from the moment of production - and not a day more. It's not difficult to believe in this bike: the term is not so small, and even with small runs, it's quite realistic to look for a tire in 5 years so that it will have to be changed because of the bald tread, and not because of the aging of the rubber. However, does the rubber composition really harden and lose its grip in 5 years? Using the website https://www.sticky-stuff.co.uk/ you can find great options.
