Re: Seat re trim
The original material is pretty much unobtainable now.
Steve Adams at Lucky 7 Moto recovered mine several years ago.

Not sure if he is still able to do them.
There is Viking (|think) who can do a good job, someone will no doubt up date that.
The nearest I have seen is the Alcantera material.
Here's what Steve Adams did for me..

My 250 Kat seat was trimmed by Tony Archer in Huddersfield 07305 744141, good colour match but its in vinyl, might be worth giving him a call to see if he does alcantara

Re: Seat re trim
The spoke/wire wheels are Suzuki.
Early GS750 or 1000 were fitted with them for a short while. The fronts are more common as they were used on the 550 as well.
The rear is much harder to come by as most spoked wheels were on drum rear braked machines. Which is where the 750/1000 connection comes in.
The GT750 crew are also keen on the spoked rears as they can do a a disc upgrade to their machines when fitted.

Re: Seat re trim
All (99%) of Suzuki single disc spoked wheels are drilled for two discs!
Hubs are indeed rare 750/1000 items.

It's faster to break than to repair.

Re: Seat re trim
The price of scrap has dropped a lot .....
Whatever they are considered worth is far less than the shares in autosol .....not for me
