Ash, the penny still has not dropped. The woman at Dis-covers is Robert Dillinger wife ;)

Ah .. See now !!  I tried to get them to do a more luxurious version of the CB750K0 'ducktail' seat cover. He told me he put extra padding in the cover, specially  for the one he did for me but not so sure. Problem is the Yamiya one is really expensive with shipping/import duty etc.etc. Will have to ask Mr Silver if he has any plans to import and sell them. Reports are that the quality is spot-on.

Don't know if it was Morretti but someone tooled up for a steel base for the K0 but got the hole sizes wrong. Was it 'TightFit seats, or is that Bob again!

Cheers ...AshD

Great news!!  Don't know how they get away with printing the HONDA logo though. Other people who do it have been threatened with legal action by Honda.

Not sure of this is the right place but I've built a custom pan that needs foam and upholstering. Does anyone know of anyone decent in Leicestershire or the midlands area?
