Default Is this seat fixable



Fixable?


I have a seat with good leather top but damaged pan. Fixable?

Anything's fixable for the right amount of cash.
Unless the seat has some form of rare value it will likely cost more than just replacing it.

I'd guess if the pan is damaged it wouldn't be cost effective to fix it. I'm having my old Corbin redone now....fresh foam, a leather cover with some tuck an roll work is costing me $425 plus tax.

I suspect just getting a new one would be more cost effective unless I could fix the old one myself. I have another seat for the bike. But it is a low profile Mustang seat without a lot of padding. This seat has more cushion and I would like to use it some.


Maybe I will try to put a little home made fix on it and see if it works. It is useable now, it just does not feel really stable on the bike.
