Not really Ducati related, but it is biking related. Does anyone know of a decent leather repairers?
I have a set of leathers that are a little battle scarred but essentially sound, plus I'm rather partial to them.
I feel they would be worth renovating/repairing but I don't know anyone local, I'm living in Lincolnshire now. Does anyone know of a good repairer/restorer with a decent turnaround time?
9 lives based down here in farnborough, Guildford before get real good feedback
had a set adjusted by them and it was top work

A little closer to home is http://www.pwrleathers.com/centre.html
Very good, had repairs & alterations done to my leathers over the past 10 years.

Hill 4 Leather in Ash
9 Lives dont have so many people working for them now, so their turnaround may not be so good now...

Thanks gents for your recommendations, and particularly to you Chris.
PWR Leathers (Speedsport as the shop is called) is only 40 something miles from me so I took a drive over and spoke to Peter the owner. A top guy, did my first leathers for me in a week. excellent results. So I have entrusted him with my more expensive, made to measure leathers, which require a lot more work. I have no doubt I will be more than happy with the results.
So once again, a big thankyou

Is that damage or just letting them out a couple of inches a year?;)

:eek: NO, crashing (when racing) and as I have skinny legs:( , having excess leather removed;)
Oh, BTW thinking about starting a sweepstake on which piece of grass you will be using this year at Cadwell:rolleyes:
