Saddle Upholstery

[MarkLawson]

I am looking for a source for the textured saddle upholstery used on some of the panels of passenger backrest and (at least on my PE) the front panel of the driver's seat where it has the Spyder Premiere Edition stitching.

Anyone know where that can be obtained?

Thanks,

Bob is having his sources look through their inventories and catalogs. Haven't heard back from him yet. When he received the saddle on Wednesday of last week, they called me back asking for pics and measurements of the RT. I sent several to him that night & he said that was exactly what he wanted. He also had some questions about the rear seat passenger sensor & if BRP offered a heated saddle option. He thought the install would be easy, much like on a GL1800 Goldwing. He saw no issues other than how closely he could match the textured fabric on the rear backrest. I told him that if he could match it, perfect, but if not, go with the smooth fabric like the rest of the saddle is covered in. I believe he wants to match the stitching and fabric panels to the rear backrest (which I shipped to him) as close as he can. That'd be cool!

This'll be my 4th backrest from him, all on different bikes. I guess I like his product.

Saddle material

That saddle material is very soft & stretchy.

That Stretchiness is what makes it so soft. It is much softer than leather or vinyl do to this stretchiness.

Leather or Vinyl do not give much, seems like this material moves much more than leather or vinyl.

If you do find some of this please post as I'am looking for this to.

With respect to the soft seat material, it closely matches the UltraLux inserts in my HHR SS. The embossed panels are another question. I don't know any other way than to ask a top notch upholstery shop about matching those panels. If this helps at all.:dontknow:
