Yes, i can make seats more comfy by altering the foam inside.

Yes i should be able to do that colour but you would need to pop down to my workshop so i can check the colour.
  Give me a call on 07964199525

Yes, everyone else maybe melting to death on the roads but not us! Because we have a car with hair conditioner! I mean what in the name of sanity did they think we want it for? To make sure that the roof rack is more shiny and managable?

 :cheers If I was working on advertising/sales I could make things worthwhile for advertisers and getting the right deals for members.    :roll_eyes  :roll_eyes
An additional section Dedicated to trade would draw members in making this a bigger forum (more appealing to sponsors).   :cya

Maybe worth you considering doing something like this to stop spammers and work on a good price trade section to benefit traders and members alike.

As a trader how does that idea bounce with you jane-ex-biker?

It would have to appeal to the members also if administration was to consider adding something like that.
Just an idea to throw out there.

Just received a price by email from jane-ex-biker and with the special price offered to WB members it was still nearly 50% higher priced than an embroidered baglux seat cover.
Don't know why it was so expensive but def not for me.  Sorry. 

Just been informed the extra money is for being unable to produce the mass like the larger manufacturers so She needs to charge this much more..  If you're looking for better priced bling, buy baglux which also has embroidery.
However, Jane-ex-biker will work to a customers unique specification giving your bike it's own unique feature (without embroidery).   I guess it would be down to budget and unfortunately I would have to buy the £90 option not the £130 option if I were to buy.
Price is a major factor in the present financial climate for a lot of people including myself and shopping around for the best deal makes sense.

I have bought good quality black vinyl seat covering to recover a seat myself in the past and it was cheap as chips, can't see other colours being that much more expensive.
For now seat coverings will not be happening on my bike.   :thumb_down

Well, I had my seat recovered by Jane and the attention to detail was worth every penny. I'll let you know about the longevity aspect once I've had the seat for a few more miles.
