Muertos Mariachi Chopper Seat

Great looking seat! I plan on doing one soon. How do you weatherproof it? The last time I tried it the clear coat made the leather look shiny and cheap. Any help would be appreciated! Thx Randy (randyjohnson1736@gmail.com)

Thanks Randy!

I just basically do about 10 real light coats of neats foot oil, and then about 5-6 coats of Beeswax based Leather Balsam heated and buff.

Then I give the customer a can of what I used and send them on their way with some advise that just like their boots they wear everyday that it is up to them to take care of it themselves or let it get ruined....

But at 500-1200€ a seat they mostly listen to good advise:)

I tell them every time they clean their bike during riding season to also put a coat of balsam on the seat.

Leather is never completely waterproof but with proper up keep it is almost 80% waterproof:)

If it is raining like hell then just put something over the seat and if it does get super wet, just let it air dry, do NOT USE A HEAT GUN!

hahahahaha
