Leather alterations?
Bought a new suit recently but it needs a few alterations. Got the number of leather workshop but can anyone recommend someone else closer to home - SE London / Kent area (Barnehurst/Bexleyheath area). Doesn't have to be motorcycle leather specialists I guess but someone who has altered leather jackets etc. In particular, shortening the legs and tightening the buttock area (oh err).
Thanks all simon |

I've used Wested leathers in Swanley for repairs and alterations a few times. Turn round sometimes a bit slow depending on workload, but work's good quality and value for money.
No number to hand but I can dig one out if needed?

I am also toying with the idea of having some additional graphics added while I'm at it - I've gone and done a 'Rossi', as a non-smoker, sold all my principles and put style over substance. I think you'll agree they are rather subtle. Best regards all simon |

Simon,
Can we expect to see the S4 sporting a colour scheme to match the new leathers?

Not an S4 but ...
Actually, the S4 is up for sale soon and an S4R will be replacing it. And yes, the colour scheme will not be standard but won't be going the whole GP route though. All will be revealed in due course but suffice to say, the bolt-ons are piling up in the garage.

Mind you any wait would be worthwhile to end up with a genuine GP replica sitting in your garage I'm looking forward to seeing you out on the road or track on the V4 soon

Good Luck with Nine lives - as said - I've found them really good - specially cos they open at 7.30 in the morning, and as they are just across the road from a big carpark, it makes life easy to do business before work.
What is their lead time at the min? - as have got a minor thing to get done. C |
