I think Kev is shutting up shop Des. At least thats the impression I got from a facebook post last week.
It's a shame as he did some really nice work too.

I had a seat recovered there about 2 weeks ago. The guy i spoke to was Errol.

Hi guys i just want to let you all know im still open , im in the middle of expanding my small but lovable workshop so YES im still open , and busy as hell doing GEL seats , so please dont hesitate to drop into my workshop or call .

thanks guys

Hey Kev for the guys not on FB why dont you whack up a couple of pix and show off a bit.

ok will do thanks heaps guys , ok here the bandit i did hope you like it , the seats are done in a black basket weave with royal blue and white

just some other info as well guys i do also do GEL inserts ,




thanks

They look good.

thanks heaps yeah he really likes thems alot i think a darker blue would have set it off abit more but thats just my tastes

I agree with you kevin a darker blue to match the paint would have been nicer. Each to their own however. The stitching looks good though.

Can you make them in faux rattle can matt black. It's important to cater to all tastes.


I will take a pic of my corbin seat that I want redone. The leather is very slippery and it annoys me. Also I would like to shorten the rider area and extend the pillion seat space. Also I like the look of that cross hatched look on that seat in your pic and I'd like some coloured panels or at the very least accents. To match the faster met grey bandit.

that is not a problem mate i do some work on corbin seats and sergant seats as well

It was great to meet you the other day Kevin. Thanks or he advise and your time going over my new seat design. I like what you did with the bandit seat you posted above and would like to have the same done on my gsx with the darker blue we discussed and the stiching change.

Will be in touch in a few weeks time when I am up and about again

Cheers

I,ll post some piccies once I have it done

For those on Facebook do a search for vcm cycle seats and “like” Kevs page. He regularly posts photos.

What sort of coin are we talking to get the seat modified with postage to and from WA? I woudl just like the front of mine flattened out and the hard edges taken off. Already have an airhawk, but the front of the Bandit seat slopes downwards as you know and the airhawk doesn't have much to sit against.

sorry guys havent posted here in ages



if you posted just your riders seat to me via aust post i think the most would be $20 the just would cost $60 posted back to you

That sounds like a bloody good offer. Will talk to the good wife and see what I can do.

What sort of turn around time is there? Do you have any more pictures of Bandit seats done? Mine just needs a reshape so it doesn't cut into the inside of my thighs on long trips

here is a picky of what kevin did for my seat

They look good - are they more comfortable than the standard Bandit seat?? I currently use an 'Air Hawk' to give a little more comfort to my toosh!

So what was the total damage in $$ terms - and is it more comfortable/softer??

It is more comfortable as it no longer as the sharp edges under the thighs and I have had gel inserts on both pads. The material is not as slippery either. I managed to ride to Newcastle and back on sunday no problems with a 2 1/2 hour stop in Newcastle before riding home.
