Foam modifications for comfort or design, material changes, deep luxury buttoning, stitched patterns, lettering and pictures, inlaid/embossed lettering, hand carving of veg-tanned hide, exotic leathers, studding, concho detailing and tassling.

Saxon Stock:
Finest quality cow hide, hair-on cow hide, veg-tanned hide, stingray skin, eagleray skin, shark skin, crocodile skin and vinyls.

We strive to find new techniques and materials so that we can offer a unique service. Please look around the photo gallery for ideas, and contact us if you would like to discuss your project with us.

All imported exotic skins are purchased from suppliers that can guarantee their compliance with CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Importation permits are mandatory for CITES-listed species.


Saxon are specialists in making one of a kind, custom seats.

This means that we can deal with many projects ranging from recovers of classic bike seats, where original and after-market products are no longer available, through to hand tailored seats for bespoke custom cycles.

We will manufacture individual fiberglass bases for custom cycles, where the bike is one of a kind and there is no original to copy, and we will see this through to the finish that is required using hand shaped foam and the covering of your choice. The covering can be made from many materials, ranging from special-effect vinyls to exotic skins.

Classic bikes often require extensive renovation, and we will take this on from the foam upwards. We take care to match the original shapes and cover colours/textures in order to complete your restoration projects.

The way that we approach seat manufacture, means that we can offer to recover seats for all kinds of motorcycle, from Japanese brands such as Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha, American brands such as Victory, Harley-Davidson and Buell, to British made bikes such as Norton, Triumph and Velocette.

Saxon is a family company, run by Alan, Daniel and Adam Smith, we work together daily and discuss all projects making sure that the best route is taken.

If you would like to talk over your project with us, we are happy to offer advice under no obligation. Feel free to email, telephone or call in and see us at the workshop. All of our details are on the "contact us" page of this site.
