Harley-Davidson Seat Retrim

Bike Seat Retrim

Our good friends at Guildford Harley-Davidson contacted d:class once again for another custom bike seat retrim. At the time of writing this, we have completed another cover and are creating one more, but sadly we cannot show you until we get the green light to do so.


For this seat, we were tasked with creating a simple yet stylish design with a mixture of materials. The use of black nappa leather and black Alcantara was specified by the customer. To connect the seat and bike together, we chose a thread that was as similar as possible to the green vinyl stickers and framework of the bicycle.

The first step is to plan the design of the cover by mocking up potential stitch lines on the original cover. Next is to draw out the design onto the material and cut out. Once all patterned pieces are stitched together, it is just a matter of fitting the cover over the foam and installing it.

SLR HDK | Lasering

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.
