I have an older E.G. that the seat is starting to split in the front corners. After 10 years of being sit on, I can understand.
I do not plan on replacing the seat. I want to get it repaired. I am sure some of you did the same.
Can anyone advise on a this matter ? What should be done to ? recover partially ?
Here is a pic.
Considering the age of the bike....don't just stop at getting new covering, but get new foam installed as well. The foam has turned to crap by now, probably offering little to no support. Get a price for that work.....make sure they quality work.
Or
Check out Ebay, swap meets, and dealer takeoffs. You maybe able to purchase a much newer Electra Glide seat for less than you can have yours repaired.
Or
Research into an aftermarket source such as Mustang or Corbin....there are plenty of good ones out there. Just have to find one that fits you.
