custom seat builder recommendations?

[mannydantyla]

There isn't anyone within a 1 hr drive that does this sorta work, so I might as well send it off.

All I need is someone to create the wrap and stretch it over the stock seat pan and foam which I will cut up myself.

Thanks for any help!

Here's my design:

New Church Moto seems to do pretty awesome work. I haven't used them yet. But I have the site bookmarked for when I get that far.

They are in Portland and it sounds like from their facebook page that most of their work is from people mailing in their seatpans and then they ship it back to you.

(I have no connection to New Church Moto)

I use DarkDogCustoms.com in Ga. It won't cost much to box up the seat pan and send it anywhere in the states.

Where are you? Kansas?

Marc, how's their prices? I got a quote for $250 from New Church to wrap a 14x7" pan in vinyl. I thought that was steep for what I'm envisioning in my head.

Not to say anything about Ginger at New church. Her service is amazing and her work is awesome from what I've seen. I just wasn't looking to pay half the price of what I paid for the bike for some vinyl

That I couldn't tell you as my seat from them was sponsored. I have a gift for securing product sponsorship when I need it. Now I need to learn how to find cash sponsors. I would guess the going rate for my seat would have been in the $100-$200 range. Nothing is cheap anymore (except my customers, not including you ;D)

Haha I know I'm one cheap bastard. You should see some of the response emails I get when I offer people on Craigslist what their bike is actually worth, minus a little more

Yeah that's about what I would expect it to cost. I can envision what it would take to do it myself. I'm borderline thinking to just borrow a seeing machine.

Couple bills may seem high, but the seamstress has to take the time to make a pattern, then a cover. It takes time to get a pattern perfected.

He's in Kansas. I doubt you'll find many places that will stitch up a seat cover in leather for $100.

Thanks for all the recommendations! However, I found the perfect place in Kansas City, just an hour drive for me. It was a father and son business called The Interior Shop, and it was just up the street from Boulevard Brewery so I took a brewery tout while I waited for them to make it.

And it was only $100! Not leather but this bike is a daily driver not a show bike, and it rains plenty around here, so vinyl is preferred. And it looks EXACTLY like my mockup.
