You can usually get it from your local upholstery shop. Make sure and get a pretty firm cushion.agraebner wrote:I replaced the headliner in my car today. The next thing is replace the upholstery under the rear window(rear deck). Then hopefully repaint the poor old thing. Speaking of upholstery, How hard is it to redo a bike seat I would like to put better cushion in the seat of the FZR. Anyone have any leads on better padding????

Re: What did you do today...
Notice the tear in my bike cover got worse. Now the right mirror is through the hole completely and the muffler. Strong winds and rain made it worse. I'll have to get a new one after payday as rainy season isn't far off.

Re: What did you do today...
I recently worked on a computer that had the same issues. It would have been quicker to reformat but instead I spent the 6 hours fixing it as the "customer" didnt want to have to reinstall and re-setup all his settings. So after that was done we made a ghost image of his drive so next time all we have to do is install the ghosted image.jstark47 wrote:Spent most of the last two days having PC repaired or downloading updates after repair install of Windows after a vicious nasty virus attack.

Re: What did you do today...
Almost got tagged twice today in the span of a couple of heat beats. Women in the outside lane got caught behind a parked delivery truck and decided to stop and then change lanes just as I was going by, Connie got a loud horn and stopped her dead in her tracks....then the woman in front of her went for it....luckily the left hand turn lane was empty and I had a place to dive into....ah the joys of commuting in the Lower Mainland.
Always ask why.

Re: What did you do today...
I avoided being a grease spot today had a woman do some ABS braking to make a last second swerve ( making a left across in front of me) into a gas station on a 50 mph road. No turn signal. No warning. NO remorse. I was lucky there was noone behind me and I was really on top of what was going on and proved the stopping distance of my CBR. From 55 mph took me about 30 feet to a dead stop. ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings INCLUDING what's behind you.
