    Lots of great tips here. Thanks as always though I do wish you had showed all the steps especially making the new pattern. I am sure it would be a ton of extra time for you so I appreciate what you were able to share. I am adding foam to my own Harley seat (not due to height, do to it being hard as a rock).

      @oldschoolautoupholstery  9 місяців тому

      Hello Pegleg, You are so welcome! I have several other seat pattern videos to choose from. If the foam is very hard for you, you might think about removing some of the hard foam and replacing it with a medium-density foam instead. Please keep liking and watching!

    Great video! 👏👏👏 I'm also tall and I need to raise all my motorcycles' and scooters' seats, and what I do is to remove the foam and upholstery, store it, and make a new foam and upholstery, so that I can reinstall the original parts when I sell my motorcycle, as most people prefer to have the motorcycle as it came from the factory 😉
    Thank you very much for the tips and the video 👏👏

    Enjoy videos. I redid my son's Honda and made it a cafe rider seat with gel inserts. For my 1st time it came out great. Now I need to make the back seat wider for me because the narrower seat hurts after a long ride. 1500 miles on the back was a killer.

    Dang, so many tips in this video. Gluing foam together (what to glue and what not to glue). Keeping panels tied together for reassembly. Serrated box cutter. Now I need to go buy one of those disposable box cutters. :-) I assume the seam allowance for the motorcycle seat is 1/4", what do you use for the seam allowance on auto upholstery?

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  2 роки тому +2

    not related to this video directly, but do you think if I ordered custom seat covers that fit my vehicle. could I also DIY new seat foam? I got a reupholstery quote and it was 1800 dollars for 2 seats… I cannot spend that much.
