The place is on a farm, so no pot plants or comfy leather sofas here! The standard seat on my 2001 Moto Guzzi Cailfornia had collapsed was a killer after an hour on the road. They recovered and rebuilt it with memory foam it while I waited. I was able to try it out before it was finished to see if I wanted more foam adding. Great result - 200% more comfortable and worth every penny. Happy to recommend.
Went to start my 1954 Royal Enfield Bullet fitted with a Thorspark ignition kit and found I had left it switched on for the last four month's, but still decided to try and start it, amazingly it started third kick.
After 45 years of building classic British motorcycles, I can safely say that the electronic ignition conversion for tue K2F magneto is the best £150 I’ve ever spent on a bike. Fantastic quality and a great price. My latest build had all sorts of age related magneto problems and after fitting the conversion unit, hot or cold (zero degrees in my little shed), starts first kick, every time. Couldn’t be more impressed, can you tell. I’ll be back for another, without a doubt. Thank you Sussex Motorcycles.

Excellent seat modification. I have used them 4 times. They can change profile height and softness of seat. Takes a while so you can check the work before cover is refitted.
For me the rock hard uncomfortable OE seat fitted to my 2020 KTM 390 Adventure was agony for my posterior after 30mins. Having looked at the options with several companies and seeing good feedback from different rider forums I decided to go with Sussex Motorcycles to cure my sore bott issue. The seat was despatched, a few days later I received a phone call from them asking what my requirements were which I duly explained. A few days later as promised the seat arrived, resplendent with it's new memory foam interior and original cover. All put back together very professionally. On riding the difference is night and day. No discomfort, no numb backside after 2-3 hours. Result. If only KTM made them like this. This works for me and comes highly recommended. Thank you.
The previous review on here scared me, but I'd already booked the visit and I wanted something done about my seat in a hurry before a trip, so this seemed like the only option. Yes, it's a strange set-up (the guy sits on a plastic chair outside a ex-pig-muck storage tank, using a Moulinex electric knife!), but I'm all about results and there I have NO complaints. I asked for my seat to be shaped a specific way, which I knew worked for me. His skills with that knife were deeply impressive. He carefully removed my seat cover, quickly shaped the seat exactly how I'd asked, checking with me all the time that I was happy. Then he added about 2.5" of memory foam (in two layers) finalised the shaping and recovered it using the original cover. The result looked exactly as I asked and extremely professional. I've just returned from a 5 day trip to Luxembourg and I have never been so comfortable on a bike seat. I did 10 hours in the saddle several days and not a single ache! I would not hesitate to go back there again. For £125 it was an absolute bargain.
