Testimonials
and Referrals
"One of the better benefits of being involved in the vintage motorcycle restoration business is all the great people I get to meet, whether thru bike shows, emails, or more personable phone conversations that inevitably lead to in depth discussions about the past, bikes we grew up with and the stories therein, or current projects , how we tracked down a bike or much needed part..to simply sharing a bit of local geographic info and finding out that we both know the same people or lived or traveled thru the same areas at one time or another in our old 'biker' lives. Of the many years I've been restoring bikes and offering advice with restoration questions and aiding in locating a bike or part, the aspect of connecting with fellow enthusiasts is still the most important to me. So I would like to take this moment to thank all of my customers and members of the VJMC who have made building this company from the ground up, webmastering our old and new websites and all the hard work and overtime it entails as a small business owner...yes, you make it all worth while! My hats off to you!

received my 66 dream seat yesterday, and WOW what a drastic "The seat arrived and while I've never seen a new 1972 Ducati Road 350, I suspect the seat would have looked exactly like the one I received. Excellent work. Unfortunately my painter did not finish the sheet metal and I will not be able to take the bike to the Barber Motorsports vintage event this weekend. As soon as the sheet metal comes back, I'll get it reassembled and send you photos. I've already passed your card on to some vintage Ducati restoration guys. Hopefully you will get a little business from the Ducati crowd." Kenneth Owensby : krowensby@gmail.com "Here
is a picture of the installed seat. I am very pleased with work
you did on my Triumph seat. It looks better than new! I won't hesitate
to use your services again. "
Just to fill you in that the seat you repaired for me on my Suzuki "The
seat arrived today and all I can say is that my jaw is still on
the floor as I sit here looking at it. You are one seriously talented
individual. "P.S.
Thanks for putting up with my impatient nature, I was probably a
huge PITA with all the emails. It was worth every minute of the
wait. "At
long last here are the photos of my bike with your reconditioned
seat on it. Thanks again for the great work." "Just
wanted to share I received the seat today and all is great. The
seat is as described and virtually looks as close to brand new that
a 30 plus old seat could. I know the experience has had some bumps
but I'm pleasantly surprised. I would indeed indicated the craftsmanship
is excellent and my feedback would be positive"." "Received
the seat today, looks great, will send you some pictures, tell T.D.
thanks for the help, hope to do some more business in the future.
Thanks.." Jon Hoover : jhoover@tc3net.com
"G/Day
from New Zealand ! "My
exhaust tips arrived a few days ago and I immediately went to work
on installing them. They were an easy install with your instructions
and tip sheet. They not only look great, they make my bike sound
and perform better than ever! They also bring back alot of memories,
as I had a set of these on my 305 Scrambler back in the old days.
I just want to thank you guys for offering these, as I searched
high and low and you were the ONLY outfit I found to make these
exhaust tips available again. Hats off to you for bringing back
a blast from the past with cool retro exhaust tips!
" "Words
cannot express how satisfied and pleased I am with the Honda SL350K1
seat you built for me. Superb craftsmanship and quality control
second to none. "WOW..
Received the (red CA92) seat, it "I
got the CB350 seat back a couple of months ago and it looks great!
I "Just
wanted to let you know that I got the GL1000 LTD key fob ( you custom
made for me) today. Looks great. I like the key fob very much. "Paquet
well received.
"I picked up the bike at Forward Air earlier today. It arrived just as you left it. It's a real nice bike! I'm pleased. I can understand some seller's remorse. F-A did a fine job shipping it and helped us get it into a trailer. I would certainly use their service again. I was pretty anxious about the pickup. Buying long distance requires some trust. You came through with a bike that matched your descirption. .....Thank you for being on the up and up." Allen Tait : atait@yahoo.com "My
1983 Honda Goldwing arrived on Sunday and I could not be happier
with my purchase from you. The bike is in precisely the condition
you adverstised on Ebay. It looks and runs great. As you'll remember,
I had many concerns about buying a motorcycle on Ebay and then having
it shipped from St. Petersburg to Pittsburgh. I really appreciated
having the opportunity to contact one of your other customers as
a reference on the way that you do business and the goods that you
sell. The call I made with your customer set aside any concerns
I had about doing business with you. Your responsiveness before,
during and after the sell should give any potential customers the
peace of mind and confidence needed to do business with you. The
timeliness of your email replys and phone calls made a huge difference
in the purchase of my Goldwing. I love it! Thanks again for a great
transaction and best wishes for your continued success! " "My
Honda 150 Benly (CA95) seat cover kit came yesterday in good shape.
I am very happy with it. I'm glad I opted for the silver "HONDA"
lettering because it contrasts better with the black seat material
than the gold lettering that is on my original seat. The silver
color will also go better with the molding and the other chrome,
etc. on the bike. I'm also glad to find out that the molding is
applied with adhesive and that I don't have to puncture the seat
material with fasteners." "Thanks
for the shipment. I have now received all of the things I orderd.
The tires are great and the seat cover looks great as well! Thanks
for all the tips about the seat re-covering ! I will send photos
when it's done." "Cool!
Sounds like the only thing I need to do is ship the seat along to
you and let you take care of it for me. By the way, of the 15 or
so "vinyl repair" shops I've contacted, you are the only
one that's been willing to look at the seat. I really appreaciate
it. "I
got the new (CT90) seat cover on and it looks great. Thanks! The
seat cover was perfect and the instructions faciltated a great looking
installation. I still need a new seat cover for 1973 my CL350."
"Excellent
(ebay) transaction ! Bike ('99 Ducati 996) was better than the pictures.
Very happy. A++" Ebay
User ID: olivertwist2003 "Thank
you for getting the seat here. We got it about two days ago and
it looks increadable. "Excellent
job on the CB750F side cover repair and restoration. Thanks again
for offering a service I couldnt find anywhere else..." "The
seat arrived today....wow....very nice! I am impressed! You can
be "The
(CB160 Sport) seat came out at least as well as my highest expectations...workmanship
is great! The color matching (blue) was also a challenge and it
seems right on!" Follow
Up: "I finally completed the CB160 and took it to it’s
first show…the AMCA Viking Chapter show here in the Twin Cities
area. It got a lot of great comments and one person said the seat
was the best they had seen. I’m including a picture of the
bike."
"When
I first inquired about getting my seat repaired T.D. took a personall
interest. First he called on the phone for a visit, followed up
by a very nice e-mail. When I finally decided to get my seat repaired,
I e-mailed T.D. to let him know I would be sending it, and my great
concern for it's well being, as for many of these vintage seats,
they do not grow on trees. T.D. assured me it would be well taken
care of. After they received the seat, T. D. emailed a list of recommendations
for the seat repair and we discussed the time frame that I would
have to get it back. I myself was in no hurry, I just wanted perfection,
and you know what, that is exactly what I got! The seat looked so
great I was nervous about mounting it back on the pan, thinking
I might damage it during installation. After I got the seat cover
back on, it looked like a brand new NOS seat. I guess what I have
been trying to say this whole time, is if you want true professionalism,
if you want great communication, if you want someone to work on
your seat and treat it as if it were their own ( I truly mean this,
the seat came out way better than expected), T.D Bash is where you
want to do your business. "Received
and installed my 305 seat cover. Looks fantastic! The exhaust baffle
is great also. The bike looks and runs like new. Thank You!" "Mr
Bash, The seat looked super ! You did a great in making it look
stock. You are more than welcome to use me as a referral. I have
been restoring bikes for about 20 years and I'm glad I have found
someone to do a good job. Thanks!" "I
received the seat for my Honda CD175 and it looks "Many
thanks for fixing the tear, reconditioning the vinyl and redoing
the logo on the seat of my 1976 Yamaha XS650. It looks as good as
new! I strongly recommend your services to anyone who wants to bring
a vintage motorcycle seat back to original condition. Thanks again
for taking good care of my baby! Warm regards," "The
seat is great. It looks perfect on the bike. The details are excellent.
I have already told everybody I know..." "Wanted
to let you know I received the seats over the weekend. they look
great, the logo looks perfect, and your workmanship seems flawless.Thanks
again .." "
I installed the seat trim Sunday. I had new seat cover and so didn't
have the benefit of the 'old groove'. But I just looked at a picture
of a CL77 seat with trim and followed the basic pattern. It went
on great. Anyway, I'm happy with the look and how it turned out." "I
picked up the seat today and the seat looks excellent! The only
way to know it's "You
have taken my butchered CB77 late model lip-type seat and turned "Received
the (2nd) seat yesterday. You folks have once again come through
"I
have received my seat today, and everything was ok. I`m also very
pleased "I
did receive the (SL350) seat today and it got here safely. I put
it on the bike immediately. It looks great and thank you for being
a person of your word, both in meeting my schedule and delivering
what you promised. I still have plenty more fires to put out on
this bike and I am glad that one of the major items is now behind
me. Thank you!" "The
seat arrived today and looks great! We're going to install it probably
tonight. "You
did an outstanding job on my KZ 650 seat. I can not believe how
nice "Got
my seat today and couldn't be more pleased the vinyl repairs and
general re-conditioning made a fair seat look like brand new! -
fast turnaround and the price was right, too unless it's some kind
of secret formula, let me know what you put on the material to make
it so soft and shiny would like to put it on the seats on my other
bikes it sure looks and feels better then the armor all-type protectant
i'm using now thanks for a great job!" "The
seat for my Black Bomber arrived today... "Got

(CB550) seat arrived today and it is absolutely flawless! Thanks
so much!" "The
