Default Upholsterer.. Denver CO??

I live in Vail, Co. I have no problem traveling a bit. I am looking for any info on upholsterers in or around Denver Co. I am looking to have my stock Softail Slim seat worked on. Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JPrez.

Certainly you can find an upholsterer in Vail among all those affluent socialites who use their gator skin sofas to conceal their blow...

It's about 90 miles for you. and you'll find no one better. Ideally, Bring your bike and they have you sit on your bike and mold your *** to your bike

I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Thanks for the info. I have heard about them and it's all good. I will definitely get in touch with them.

HoggyMtnBreakdown, I gladly take those affluent socialites's money and that's where the relationship ends. Working class citizen over here bud.

Ditto on Bitchn Stichn in Lakewood. Had my saddle re-upholstered and a gel insert placed. Fantastic work, reasonable prices. Dan is the man.
He also spent time discussing available replacement seats and offered me his discount if I wanted to go that route.
I also can recommend Aranda Upholstery at 80 south Federal alley side. Great work, cheap prices, no English spoken by the old school craftsman. Does mostly cars but has done a great job on two of my bikes. Probably wouldn't take my Harley there though mostly because Dan is a specialist.

Thanks fogline. I might go down and talk to Aranda. I spoke to him on the phone. Nice dude. The thing on my end is, I am heading to Sturgis in a few weeks and would really like a more comfortable ride. Bitchn Stitchn is booked til' mid august and Le Pera wont ship for "at least 3 weeks". So I might research my options. Maybe pick up a gel cover for the meantime. Don't really want to tho. Thanks for the hook up.

Jprez,
If you want me to take some pictures of Bitchn Stichn's and Aranda's work, let me know and I will put a couple up in the morning. I would be satisfied with either, though Dan at BS is really a rider too. I am sure BS is swamped right now because of Sturgis and Aranda has always been about a week or so out.
Aranda charged me about $70, BS was about $100.
BTW, there will be a lot of dealer reps in South Dakota, not all in Sturgis. If you want new, you might find what ever you need there.

Thanks bud. I appreciate all the info. I think I am gonna see what happens in SD. I however would love to see some comparison pics of your bikes. Please post them here if you can.

Thanks,
Jprez.

Hey Jprez
Here are some pics of my garage. My dyna's Bitchn Stichn upholstered saddle and Aranda's work on my Parade bike (92 Elite). The Bonnie, the Aprilia and the V-rod still have factory. As you see, Aranda's work is flawless.
Please let me know if you would like more.
