Malaysia - Penang - Georgetown
 

We discovered a shop that can make custom seats or modify and repair them. He also can repair helmets and the lining. He did a fantastic job modifying the seat of Filippos 1150 - it was a pleasure watching him. And we paid only about 30 EUR (for more thant 2 h work and material!)
However, it is a bit difficult to find. Here are the GPS coordinates. If you turn from the big street, look for the signs.
N 05° 23.996
E 100° 19.001

We've also been to the Touratech shop, not for shopping, only to say hello, and they were extremly friendly and helpful and very excited to meet us. Here are the coordinates.
N 05° 25.035
E 100° 19.474
53 Rangoon Road, 10400 Georgetown

And finally the BMW garage, which is apparently also very good, but we have no personal experience: Auto Bavaria Penang:
N 05° 25.292
E 100° 19.463

Thanks Heike!

Will be arriving there next month (from Belawan) and need a new seat!

Safe travels :)
