Default Sponsor or Forum recommended Upholsterer

Looked through the Sponsor list that came up and used the search function and have yet to find the answer to my question.
Is there a Sponsor, Contributing Member, or a highly recommended upholstery shop specializing in GEL inserts, that works reasonably, not high end custom, just insert and recover with existing material.
I've upgraded my suspension and thought I would finish it off with some Gel to get the best comfort for the long runs, without buying a High-End seat.
Only looking for first hand experience, not hearsay or friend of a friend.
Thanks

Danny Gray. Did my bagger seat, driver backrest, passenger backrest with nice leather, replaced some foam, added some gel, etc. Fair price, good service even over long distance.

Memory foam is much more comfortable than gel. Ive got both and there is no comparison on long rides. My 2 cents.....

Mean City again. They've done two seats for me. Awesome work.
