Cool Trimming unit 8/460 Main North rd Blair Athol (behind sprint auto parts/next to yamaha pitmans) 8359 7220. He did the seat on my effie $150 perfect first time but if you don't like it after using it he'll fix it up no charge until your happy.

there's a guy at crafers who does seat restorations, eldorado seat restorations is the business name I think, does some very good work.

I always recover seats myself, staple gun and any colour vinyl you want... you can play with foam as well to make it more comfortable, my yzf750 had a plank for a seat, but the 600's had a nice soft hump to sit on, so i pulled out the staples from the seat and added $3 foam from clarks rubber, then used the old cover as a template for $5 worth of nice new black vinyl! under an hour and under $10 and get to proudly sit on my own handiwork!

The seats quite good,though the riding position with clipons and heavy clutch and is taking a bit of getting used to.

:Dafter owning this bike for 26 years I dont think I could swap it for anything,except maybe a Vinton or a Greenframe[:p]and thats highly unlikely[xx(]
