BMW S1000R Seat Retrim

CNC Stitched Bike Seat Retrim
A customer brought their near-new BMW S100R motorbike to us, requesting a seat retrim. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the seat; it's just that our customer wanted something rather special to also match the copper accents already found on the bike.
For this seat, we received a small list of requirements from our customer; make the seat comfier than the OEM spec, use black nappa leather, a copper stitch to match the bike frame, and create a modern CNC stitch pattern seat centre.

As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.
