Does anyone know “Bob the Seat”??
« on: February 21, 2022, 06:01:29 AM »
4-5 years ago, I sent an early K0 seat pan to England for refurbishing. The gentleman was on EBay as “Bob the Seat”. He did a fantastic rebuild, at a very reasonable price. At the time he did all kinds of seats, but mostly Kawasaki Z900/1000. Anyone have contact info?

Hey John...I dont know him but do remember posts about him on the Kawasaki forum.  I've asked a question there and will let you know if I get any info back, the thread is over 8 years old.

Is there much demand for custom seat covers? I've got the sewing machine for it, and I've made a couple seat covers before.

Good to know if I'll get a real seat in need of renewal.
