    Did the seat get back to the customer before you realized you'd covered over the seat lock??? thanks for the tutorial very good

    Good video! Thanks for sharing.
    Giving the customer the removed material from the seat, is an excellent idea.
    Great customer service.

      Glad you liked it. I always give the customer the removed foam so that in case they need to restore it back to original.

    I'm doing similar reupholstery on a 2018 Honda cB500x which is positioned for a short rider and sloped to slid to tank.I reshaped to be very slightly level to sloped back to rear, then installed various densities to raise height and soften sit bone area then cover w/ 1/2" headliner foam, then vinyl cover. Major difference in comfort, tough to find a foam shop w/ correct densities. All else fails, Seat concepts make a model specific foam/seat cover combo, but have no idea of personal build correctness or comfort.

    Question- what type foam are you using to cover seat? Can you send a link?

      Hello Robert, Thank you so much! No link, as I buy from my supplier. Just Google what I use a backed foam called "Scrim backed 1/4 inch foam" Easy to find. I think you will do just fine with your bike seat. Please keep liking and watching!

    As far as staples go, what do you use? Size, length? Also, do you want to try to staple into the same holes?

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I generally use Arrow brand T-50 staples from Home Depot or Lowes in my Harbour Freight staple gun. 5/16" or 3/8" staples. Not important to staple into the same holes. Thanks for commenting and just keep going!

    What do you charge om average to do a simple motorcycle seat with no custom stiching in vinyl? I've been trying to do my own seat for a while now and I'm almost to the point of paying someone else to do it and I'm just trying to get an idea of what it's going to cost me.

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Mr Not, Cost will vary wildly depending on what the upholsterer in your area wants to charge you. Also materials you choose, their experience and reputation plus many other factors. Just Google, "Upholstery shop near me" Thanks for watching!

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery

    Hello, what kind of material was glued on top?

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, That would be 1/2 inch backed foam on this seat, Sometimes I use 1/4 inch. Thanks for watching!

    @ricksummerfield784 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Should I put a waterproof barrier, like builder's plastic between the foam and vinyl cover ? It's for my off road enduro bike

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Plastic will neither help nor hurt. Plastic is not the purpose of waterproofing as water always finds itself inside the foam. Plastic is used for the purpose of helping to reduce the friction of the foam while installing the vinyl cover.

    Beautiful craftsmanship Rudolph. I'm going to gel my dirt bike seat now! What kind of spray glue would you recommend for DIY?

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Many newbies who think they are experts say to use the spray glue that sounds like "Three men." Bad advise. Don't ever use that as it never holds anything together. Use good old contact cement that is found in hardware stores.

    The gel pad is visible on the surface of the cover. It's not aesthetically pleasing.

      The customer did not complain. He was overwhelmingly happy for the improved comfort.
