    Custom seat source?

    Does anyone know of a custom seat source besides Corbin. I've seen a couple really nice seats on here but I think one of the nicest was done by someone who has retired. I have a Corbin and there is not enough padding now that I have stiffened my suspension. Had to go back to the stock seat for the sake of my back and kidneys--and back! Nothing wrong with my stock seat but looking for nice options.

        Sargent is great, and BMS (Bill Mayer) and also Russell do custom seats. I just used a really cool local guy I knew here.

            I've posted a few here and there. You should be able to find a local upholsterer who can do most anything you want, and then you have access if you need to change anything or warranty a quality issue. This guy is in your vicinity:

              Thanks. I should have just looked. Funny how you can find anything on Craigslist--from the "Craigslist funnies" to high quality custom craftsmanship.

                No joke. I have found several people on CL who have helped me make my projects work, from upholsterers to welders to electricians. Those are things I just don't have the skills to do.
