    Well, certainly didnt want to spend big money on the CB if it wasn't
    necessary and until I was sure I was happy on proper bikes.

    Well, I am, even to the point im planning ahead to something bigger
    (pan-euro size) next year.

    Anyway, the seat on the CB (or more specifically the cover) is a bit
    fucked and beyond the usual gaffa tape type fix. So, anyone got any
    suggestions locally ie bedford area for reupholstering?

    Failing that, I dont mind having to send it off if anyone can recommend
    someone good?

    Ah, so at least i was right in one of us being right.
    ok, well first then id have to find a cover fr the seat, which in about
    the last 4 hours has proved impossible (other than the aforementioned
    gay ones at about 75 quid) :-/

    To be fair, i was looking everywhere except there, even found a site
    that did oem parts that wanted something like 350 euro for a complete
    seat unit. Christ thats more than i paid for the whole bike!
