Shanghai Motorcycle Market: Hutai Lu Motomart

[998S]

Nice, thanks for that update.... I need a seat "customized" for my wife, wasn't sure were to look but the lady that used to do all of my seat and upolstery work is probably there....

They are now on the backside of the new market ... a very sad place by the way.

BTW, nice one, Motokai!

That is one sweet seat cover!

Sorry, I don't know anyone at the Shanghai market for this job, but if you find yourself in Turpan (吐鲁番），Xinjiang I can introduce to you some sweet ladies who can saddle up your horses.
Here's the work they did for my Jialing steed earlier this month:

My buddy did some searching and found that they actually SPLIT the original JiaoJi Rd MotoBike Parts market - see http://www.motorfans.com.cn/bbs/f_75.htm

1) #4333 HuTai Lu - Called Shagnhai Gmall (this is the one mentioned in above post)

2) #1681 Gu Lang Lu (near ZhenNan Lu) -- this one is actually supposed to be bigger & better overall compared to the Gmall...

and yes, that seat is truly "PIMP".

Shanghaifingers -

I needed some special Custom work done on a seat for a Bike I was building a few years ago. Ended up going to one of those Shoe Maker shops round the corner from Big Bamboo - they were able to give me all kinds of nice leather options (just about anything you could ask for) and did a great job on the padding and stitch work. There are 2-3 of these little custom shoe-makers right across XiKang Lut from Big Bamboo (on that little road behind Plaza 66).
Anyway, they aren't cheap, but they did great work. Ended up using the seat on a fancy bike I gave to my father for his birthday....

just got back from Hutai road as a couple of our club guys need to buy off-road gear for an upcoming Laos 10 day adventure off-road trip.
in my opinion, Taobao has still a better selection if your into the cheap "fake" sort of gear and parts (i am not into that cheap sh@t).

now, if you have trouble finding a super large size helmet, look no further, head over to the Hutai Road bike parts market.....
