Its not down your way, but i had my seat recovered at P&P seating in Birmingham.
They did a first class job, looks like a brand new seat, about eighty five quid and they do a postal service.

There is a chap here in Kent - John Back (tel: 07860-376978 or 01227-360275)

I haven't used him, but he is a personal pal of the guy who owns the Suzuki Robinsons dealership in Canterbury, and he says he has only used John for seats of all kinds for decades.

Person I have used, but not for a GT seat (was a GSX1400 seat) nor in your location, but is superb, great rep:
Tony Archer (tel: 01484 - 536832)
Unit 7D, Riverside Works
Bradley Mill Road
Huddersfield
Yorkshire
HD1 6PQ

Cheers!

Hopefully you can see the picture.
If you look on the p&p seating web site they have a few good pictures.

Mabru,
Looks lovely and good quality. The vinyl looks better than the 'NOS' ones you can buy now - is that right?

Did you just send you seat with a trim on for recovering, or did you buy the the whole seat as it is?

If you sent it out for recovering, how long did they take? rough price?

Cheers!

Yes, the seat is as good as the picture.
I was traveling through Birmingham so i called in with my seat, it had the wrong cover on, no trim and no strap also it was a bit lumpy, they repaired the foam fitted a new cover, strap and trim. I collected it 3 weeks later approx 85 quid.
If you use their postal service that will cost more.
Have a look on their web site.
