Door Panel Leather Inserts

Yeah, after reading about drilling out the rivets, I was like, "Yeah, right!" Recipe for disaster, as far as I am concerned... I definitely would rather the dealership be the one to take all the door panels off and do all the work, and then warranty/guarantee it. I sure couldn't do it myself. My tail lights I bought in the group buy a number of months back are STILL sitting in the box, cause I don't feel comfortable doing the whole "unscrew-the-back-bumper" process. That, plus they weren't the original ones I wanted (wanted the FULL LED ones), but thought another member was gonna be able to do something cool to these to make them where I WOULD really like them (but that unfortunately didn't work out). :focus:So, yeah, in summary, the dealership option doesn't sound so bad after all...

 

Just a ways down 95. But be careful! Stay away from I-10... you don't wanna' get over there in 'Nole Country!

Also, I doubt whether your dealer or Bean would actually do the work themselves. Rather they would farm it out to a "true" upholstery shop.

But I don't understand your statement, "After all the trouble this is sounding like it entails...." As the Scottrade commercial says, "The fun, the fun... how about all the fun?"

 

Yes please... definitely looking forward to your installation pictures :hail:

P.S. As for the xs650, I agree 100%... oft' described as a limey bike done right... sorta like the SR500 I had many moons ago. When I travel to Japan I see virtually no vertical twins... lotsa' V-twins (ugh) and a surprising number of SR400s, their non-stroked version of the SR500.

 

Well, that's not my kind of fun, I guess! lol! My dealer will just do it one day (at my convenience) in about 3 hours. That's what they say they normally allow to do it. I can sit there and wait while they do it, or they will run me home and come pick me back up... They have full-time people on staff that do leather and tinting and those things...
