The bottom of the seat kinda looks like a snake skin at first. Neat.

A cone Shovelhead with an S&S air cleaner. I like! Good job on the tooling and finish. Lacing looks great and so does the bottom.

Is that a leaf sprung seat or am I missing something? I want to do that on my bike. If you get a chance could you post a picture of the seat mounted. Thanks for showing.

What dye did you use? and whats your process? I really like the color, and the darker edge.

I only use fiebiengs and airbrush it on in layers till I get the effect i want then I go back and fade in with black. Thank you for the kind words!

Yea the fire set me back a little but lessons learned were worth it.thank you for the kind words comming from you they are more encouraging your work is outstanding. I am pleased to report I have been commissioned to do a similar seat for a 1954 Pan . Also matching saddle bags. Cool!

Just Curious.

Not being a motorcycle rider, will some one tell me how long the tooling on these seats last?

I mean with all the weather and the get on, get off the seat and all the sun exposure they must get.

Thanks
