Dropped them off yesterday.



Got a msg this evening that the ZX11 seat is done...





Well chuffed. The ZX11 seat was going to be all black, but then he looked at pics of the bike & thought the silver carbon fiber look stuff would go well with the silver frame etc.

Gonna wait until the ZRX11 seat is done & then I'll go fetch both of them (prob next week sometime). ZRX11 seat is getting lime green piping.

That is awesome. As a sewist I'm in awe of the skills to do this. I would love to learn how to do that!!

Anyone know anyone good in the UK?

Enjoying the fact a standard twill fabric is now "carbon fibre pattern" Chicken<->Egg fella.

Looks good nonetheless

Coincidentally I’m going up to to Tom’s next week, it’s quite near. I’ve had a couple of emails from him and he seems a nice guy.

The wife’s complaining about numb bum on the R so I’m going to get a memory foam/gel replacement. I might get mine done too and a cm or so taken off the height. Price quoted for both should be £250 max.

He says turnover is 1-5 days but that only for simple stuff like mine.

I think for custom stuff he’s not even taking orders just now although he did say to look at his pages for ideas if I wanted something. So it’s possible if I was there and asked he might fit me in. A custom seat might be nice but the budget won’t stretch to it.

ZRX11 seat is done. Got both seats for less than one Corbin










And here it is modeled on one of his ZRX's



I'm happier than a dog with dual dingus's (dingii?)

He did a rather spiffy Z1000 seat

I'm fixed up there,but unfortunately for me,the import duties kill off most items over a certain level. Not many outfits will do the 'gift' thing now.

WooT!! Fetched them today, fitted them & then gave them the benefit of some Mequiars NXT vinyl goop stuff...

Before goop:
