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! I truely hope that thru the continual growth process of our company, I and my staff at Cool Retro Bikes , can continue to offer the quality service we have become known for and in the future make more friends than just simply customers..

received my 66 dream seat yesterday, and WOW what a drastic "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. "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 "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.
"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
