My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
Bryanj:
Does Silver not do a cover?
Bryanj:
He does the 250G5 which should be the same and all his used to come from Bob the sear so were good quality
Craizeehair:
Thanks Bryan,
I will take a look at those. It may be time to get my upholstery on!!!
K2-K6:
Bike looks good, hopefully a nice ride for summer too.
I like the USA spec bars, rear guard short etc. Looks nicely different to have a front drum brake too, more effective than many think they are when working well.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
As you will be well aware replacing the cover is only going to work if the foam is in good condition.
We had a local guy in Derby who would remove the old cover - his seamstress would use the old cover as a template to make a replacement complete with piping etc all stitched together on site. Like wise new foam would be sculptured and when done it would look like it just came out of the factory. He also did a lot of re-roofing of convertables including our old R129 SL using special kits he imported from the US.
Sadly Stan died a couple of years ago he was known in the trade locally as "Stan Stan the Vinyl man" as he cashed in big style on the 1960-70s demand for Vinyl Roofs on cars. When this work dried up he did contract re-upholstering of small passenger aircraft as well as specialising in a rear seat conversion for Jaguar XJS models. Unfortunately his son was not a chip off the old block as it was too much like hard work.
