Re: 75 GL1000 Project
I picked up my recovered Corbin seat up at the upholstery shop yesterday and with the exception of a couple of decals and seemingly unobtainable shelter decals, I’m calling this project done!

Re: 75 GL1000 Project
Seat looks GREAT. Mind sharing what the cost of that recover was? I have the same seat with those damned flames.... Currently working on dyeing them with some leather dye (working better than i thought after 3 coats).

Cost was $225. Guy I use here does excellent work. He’s done a couple of cars for me also.

Re: 75 GL1000 Project
If you would like o send me your seat I’d be happy to get it done for you. You’d have to be without it for a few weeks. He’s pretty busy.wannabridin wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 11:29 am man, $225 is a helluva price for that. Corbin wants like $450-500 for theirs.
