have sorted a new restyled pattern for GT, ideal for any one fitting a GT seat to GTS or updating older seat

Neat!

Alan - could you add cross stitching like that to my stock GTS saddle to create a replica 300 Super Sport seat? What sort of £££...?

Best,

Mark

Yes, well sort of. I already have a nearly new standard GTS saddle. Could you whip off the existing vinyl cover (black with white piping), add stitching and refit? Or would this be a bugger to do...?

Thanks,

Mark

im afraid it wont work as the fluting lines are sewn to foam to give its roll effect inturn making the fabric shrink in length i have to add 3/4" to the pattern to compensate for the flute rolls

D'ohhh! Might buy an OEM saddle and sell mine instead. Will give it some thought. That all black seat is very smart, all the same.

Thanks Alan.

Best,

Done giving it some thought!

I will take one just like that all black cover, if you can make me up one with white piping. PM sent separately.

Best regards,

Mark
