Coming together well Abb
Just don't put "His" and "Hers" T-shirts on when you go out together. That would be a step too far

I buy daves bike whatever I tend to buy for mine as he does all the hard work so the least I can do is make sure he is nice and comfy. Forks are done now and look like black glass..Super slick and smooth and wheels are back, just a cpl of things to do then I'll post up the before and after photos

hiya if you go to https://www.facebook.com/else.made?fref=ts and tell him you are part of the VTR Group, he offers a discount ;-) If you look on his page or his website,you'll see the seat i actually bought of Duffy is my new seat but my old seat, I sent to elsemade and he recovered it in Yellow and Black and memory foamed it and shipped it to OZ to a mate wit ha VTR! Amazing guy, brilliant and comfortable toboot. be SURE you ask him for the subtle 'lift' you can't see it, and it stops 'Ball crush' ... Sorry it took so long to reply.
He can make just about any spec for any bike in any finish you want!

Very sweet of you to care so much for his elbowAnotherbikerbabe wrote:I buy daves bike whatever I tend to buy for mine as he does all the hard work so the least I can do is make sure he is nice and comfy.

But really, those seats, and both bikes look outstanding.. Well done.

Re: Our new VTR seats
Thank you, he's does all the graft so to make life easier on him ( to do all my jobs on my bike I want lol) I bought him the Hydraulic Bike lift and a 6 ton press, figured he'd like those!E.Marquez wrote:Very sweet of you to care so much for his elbowAnotherbikerbabe wrote:I buy daves bike whatever I tend to buy for mine as he does all the hard work so the least I can do is make sure he is nice and comfy.I remember buying a custom Gel seat for my old Yellow VTR and we rode down ( when we lived in Scotland) to visit daughter in Swansea = 400 miles then rode out with playerone, Pete and Nelly etc all over Hay on Wye, Hereford etc and rode home again = 1100 miles in 3.5 days and all the way home he standign on his pegs, stretching up, and then sitting down and all I could think about was how 'comfy' my butt was lol,my back was killing me but my butt was comfy! Ever since then after we both replaced both VTRs it's been on the list of things to buy for him..= job done..

Save his back, he aint getting any younger lol

Re: Our new VTR seats
Alastair has had mine for recovering, it's on it's way back to me now, looking forward to trying it out.
I'll post a pic once it's here.

Re: Our new VTR seats
Great looking job, did you send it, or take it etc?
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Re: Our new VTR seats
my seat is the third one down, faux suede with carbon effect vinyl, reshaped for more elbow space, I also had the front raised by 1cm to help against ball crush, iirc mine has memory foam and gel inserts, my previous seat from alastair just used better quality foam, and that was also super comfy, i'd put having your seat comfort improved as one of the top ten best improvements to be made to a bike....











HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
