During the summer there was a tiny tear on the seat of my GTS250 that I didn't pay much attention now, and now it's grown to a decently sized rip. I figure it's time to reupholster the seat now.

Anyone have inexpensive options for doing this? Does anyone happen to know of good shops in the LA area I can take it to?

Cheapest way would be to buy a cover online and fit it yourself, search Alan Woodier on youtube, he does a two part tutorial on how to fit a cover.

I take mine to a local upholsterer. He does chairs and car seats so a scooter seat is a piece of cake for him. Cheap, too.

Contact 'alan w' of this forum. He's in the UK, but can ship a custom cover to you for a total price less than you'd likely pay in the US. Here's his website:
