Title: gt seat resto
Post by: rory on October 19, 2008, 02:29 PM: i have been after one of these seats for ages, one came up on ebay in very good condition,
but it went for silly money, it was the only on being sold seperatly on ebay for at least a year.
the gay pensioner kindly sent me his well used one for the postage so this week i spent a while on it.

Post by: combriaj on July 09, 2009, 05:33 PM: Rory, can you give me a few tips on how you did that? I have 97 Dyno Slammer with the same seat. My wife deciced to use my bike as a washing line when it was raining and now the leather has started to peel away. Mine doesn't look nearly as bad as the one in the pic.
