    My 1100GS fell over yesterday in the wind (parked...), and clipped a bollard on its way down, putting a tear in the side of the seat :(

    Gaffa tape is a temporary fix but is there a better repair I can do myself? Or does anyone have the name of a good seat upholsterer?

    Thanks!

    I bought new seat cover for my CBR from Poland through eBay. Put it on myself. Best if you have a pneumatic stapler. Cost about £35

    Thanks for all the replies! Tiger Seal might do the job, I think I have some in the shed. It's too small to fit anything in behind it though, but there are 2 tears and I could make a slit to join them and then pop in a patch behind...

    But I think Rory Callaghan is the solution. When I heard the name I remembered I used him years ago for another job, so thanks for jogging the grey matter!

    There's also a lad in Poppintree who did mine a couple months back and did a whopper job on it. If you want his details, let me know.
