Symphony Leatherette, Computer Embroidery (my name on the seat and the SUZUKI Emblem at the back) and a good Upholsterer. Total cost US$100.00 and two days work. I wanted a custom seat not varying too much from stock. I am quite happy with it, that leatherette is C O M F O R T A B L E.

Thanks for the pic, it looks great!
Would you mind explaining the process? I would like to learn how to restore the seat on my '78 gs1000.
Cheers!

Th upholstery work was done by a pro. He recommended "Symphony" as the finest leatherette available and he used a Computer Controlled Embroidery Machine to do the Graphics. The original foam padding was fine, however, I needed a little extra "Flair-height" at the back of the seat so this was done by sculpting-in some extra high-density foam in that area.
That's essentially the process.
