Author Message   Biomechanic Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 12:29 am:        Can anyone that has this seat tell me if the center section could be replaced with a different color seat material? I have seen some of these seats for a really good price, but they are the ones with the colored center section and I really want it to be all black. It looks to me like you could take out the center section and have it recovered, but I want to make sure before I buy one. Thanks in advance for any help all of you Buell Select Seat owners can give me.   Mluds0379 Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 01:08 am:        Is it that much of deal to cover the cost of materials and labor to do that?   Buelltroll Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 01:57 am:        ANY good upholstery shop can re skin a seat to however you want it labor rates vary   Brumbear Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 07:10 am:        paint it ? I have seen upholstrey paint but I don't know if it works if i was going to have an uph. guy do it anyway I might just try it first   Not_purple_s2 Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 08:40 am:        The select seat is a pretty good deal even brand new. I looked around for a long time trying to find a good deal but ended up just buying a brand new one. I don't regret it at all. Now, if you're thinking about getting a Corbin then it might be worth it to wait and watch. Those are really expensive brand new and I've seen some go for less than $200 here on BadWeB.   Biomechanic Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 07:17 pm:        Well there is a Harley dealer on e-bay selling the blue or orange seat (insert) for $69 plus shipping. So for a total of $80 I can get a brand new seat. All the ones I have seen otherwise have been $180 plus shipping. So, I think that is a pretty good deal unless the upholstery shop wants $100 or more for just that center section. I better get some rates from the local shops I guess.   Not_purple_s2 Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009 - 09:00 pm:        oh, damn that is a good deal. Yeah I bet you can get it professionally stained/tinted or re covered for less than $100. Just make sure you see some of their work first. I've seen a lot of "professional" seats that look like crap. You really need to have both the know-how and the skill to do it right.   Randomchaos Posted on Friday, September 04, 2009 - 04:47 am:        I thought you could customize the seat directly from Buell.
