Hey Brett, you made it then mate? Nice one.
Hey lads, this is the guy that did my seat on the Gix. I suggested he should join up and make himself known as he is just out of the boat industry and set up on his own and he knows his shit. So if you are adding a new tail piece or one of Angry's German units (Fimp?) then give this guy a nudge. He can make the fibreglass base to shape the tail and cover it in any upholstery fabric you want. He did mine in meshed MX grippy shit. No more sliding into the tail piece on full go take off any more.

hey suxukifreak yeah flame seat is quite possible best bet is either bring it on in or email a picture of the seat and how you want it etc etc im sure Gix can provide us with a pic of his i did, and ill have to dig up some other bike seat photos, done some harleys etc etc plenty of other upholstery work photos too..

mmm, i wouldnt mind a look at this MX stuff you on about

so what u need, dimensions and stuff?
can u get bolt-down points put into the fibreglass base (just little ally lugs or something?)

sounds good though, whats the rough cost?

fimp,
Gix11 should be able to post up a pic of his i shaped for his gix and it has the gripper stuff
as for a custom seat for you it depends all on the bike and how much work is involved i.e. any fiberglass moulding etc etc..
and yeah bolt down points can be sorted

Just got time to send in those pictures of my seat that Brett did. It's the non slip stuff they use on MX bikes. Give him a call if you're interested.

Forget the rear seat,
but I wouldn't mind the front seat re-done with the
very popular raised bit on the rear, as on many of the expensive customs seats from the US.
