Default Reupholster a seat

One of the first mods I did was to put a Reach seat on my bike This seat has been greate for me. Roll ahead 57,000 miles and the seams are tearing out. I like the seat just need to have it reupholstered.
I am planning just to send the seat in for this work. Any recommendations on who will do a great, quick job on this would be greatly appreciated.

These guys are local to me but would probably do it by phone if you give them a call. I'm riding on one of theirs and I've seen a couple others, all of it has been top notch.

Thaks forthe thought. I did just do that. I bought a new Reach seat. But the seat is totally different that the one I have. The passengar pillion is about 2 inches narrower. The rider portion is also not a deep.
I took it back. For the same money, I thought I could have a seat that I have broken in, recovered.

Mean City Cycles could do it if you *have* to have a motorcycle specific company do it. But, if you're comfortable with it now why not just take it to a local auto upholster & have them repair it? I've done that & it takes about two hours if he's any good & knows you're comin' in.
