bentley Report post Posted December 8, 2011 Been doing leather work for many years but never did any bike stuff. Got an order for a two up full dress Harley seat, backrest, speakers, etc. Managed to connect with an 80 year old craftsman that only works in vinyl seats and is a wealth of knowledge, also loves to talk about his work, great mentor. Not sure my work is worthy of posting in this section with you great bike builders but here are some progress pictures. Bike is yellow with gold leaf on the tank, Owner did not like black on yellow so it will be a light brown when finished. Gentleman owns a Harley dealership and also rides horses, wants the seat to look as close to stock as possible in regards to stitching lines but to feel like one of his saddles. No tooling at all, likes his saddles smooth but wants natural scars and some distress. Feel free to critique and thanks for viewing, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
