Custom Made Seat

Just picked up my new seat from Tony Archer of Huddersfield

. Absolute bargain, top quality and service. £80 to lower the seat (88 Euros or $110) and recover, (new foam as the BMW seat cover was fixed to the foam). No wonder Mr Archer has a workshop full of seats.
He would have done it while I waited, colour coded piping and also put a gel pad in if I wanted. Shame an awful lot of you won't be able to use his services

Hello fellow r1200r owners, first time poster here
I've just got my bike, and what a fantastic bike it is too. I got it secondhand and it came with the low seat fitted which was much too low for me.
So i too went to tony archer to have it raised two inches and like SG i think he's made a great job of it

He's only a couple of miles from where i work which is handy
Here's a coupleof snaps.

Looks great and welcome. I'm look at the three bike picture and wondered how the middle bike's ride was? Is the cushion in the seat of the rider?

LOL i've only just noticed that. It was a camping weekend and maybe he's taken his seat off to sleep on it
