XS650 Addict
A while back I bought a cafe seat from an ebay seller for my XS650 cafe project. Well made, came with a big piece of durable vinyl and chrome snaps to secure it to the seat.
Problem is, I've never upholstered a seat before. I've located a source for the foam pad(s) and I know how to trim the foam. But I've never done any sewing before, and I'm thinking that, to do this right, a fair amount of sewing will need to be done so that it will have an authentic cafe look.
I suppose what I probably should do is just take it to an auto/motorcycle upholsterer after getting the foam shaped the way I want it, and have them do the rest. But being a DIY kinda guy, I wouldn't mind trying it myself.
So if you'd be willing to weigh in here, I'd be willing to pay attention.
