    Does anyone know of an independent local (Bay Area) seat shop (not
    looking for Corbin type of big shops) who can re-work an existing seat,
    reshape the foam and re-cover it? I'm looking to shave an inch off the
    seat and about 1/2" off the sides. Any suggestions gladly considered.
    Thanks,
    Guzzisto

    Had work done about 7 years ago by "Mike the Seat Guy". At that time,
    he worked out of a shop with a German name in the Mission. No idea
    whether he's still in business or where.

  3. I had my seat reworked by Sid's Upholstery, down the street
    from Cal BMW on middlefield in Mt. View. They added
    a gel pad, used a heavy duty material and I've been
    reasonably happy with the work. About $150 I think.

    I also had a seat done at Sid's. They did a great job and
    matched the vinyl of the seat to the trim of my 1988 K75C
    perfectly.

  5. The one problem I had was that they used the wrong size pop
    rivet, so I had to bring it back. I think this was probably
    an SAE vs. metric issue.

    The seat is definitely more comfortable and looks like
    it'll last a lot more years.
