Title: Custom seat
Post by: AndyB on Thursday, 12 November 2020, 03:25 AM
This is my old 14 which I sold in 2013...question  I want to ask is.. does anyone  recognise  the  seat maker or manufacturer. I bought it with this seat fitted, & after riding with the standard seat on my new one ,and a Jack up kit it's a bit tall...I like the aggressive Jack up look...so looking for a similar or the same seat again

Grizzley Adams could do one like that, he's on FB & a fellow 14 rider.

Tony only does a walk in service now, post and packing was causing too much bother to him so stopped it a while a go.

Cheers fellas,
I've had a look on Tony's website..theres some remarkably similar seats on it...I'm gonna send him a few photos  to see if he's made it....or knows who did.
Having said that , just bandits do a nice sculptured seat....any of you guys have one ?

That's a shame (well, not if you live that way of course), as Tony's work is top notch, he did a couple of my seats

Never heard of or have any experience of these guys @AndyB - but they are local to you https://www.dpleathers.co.uk/customised-seats - mind you just having looked again, I think they only do leather seats.

On Facebook, look up "Grizzley Adams (Grizzleys Custom Seats)" who has a good reputation as well, and is also a fellow 14 owner - think he might be Rotherham based possibly

Grizzley did the seat on mine for me. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I know Grizzly, he's a good bloke. It was his 14 I rebuilt the clutch hydraulics on outside a cafe after the Yorkshire Pud rally this year.
