Thanks, it's just riveted. I prefer padding but, some people are hard asses. Actually it isn't bad , the shape of the pan conforms pretty well,just toss some springs under it .
Thanks, I used 8-9 oz. I want it to conform to the small of the back rather than being too thick and becoming uncomfortable. I made one for my mother-in-law and she just loves it!
Thanks.The tube idea is not mine, it's an old hot rodders trick.I put the leather right over the tube but I only run a small amount of air in it.Eventually it takes the shape of the tube somewhat, but the comfort factor is way high and more than makes up for it. I use 8-9oz. leather so it holds up quite well. For some people I'll put some padding in front of the tube for aesthetic reasons but I prefer it without because the padding hits right in that "guy spot". It is mucho comfortable with the tube alone! Try it, you'll like it!
The tube size in this one is 280/250-4
Actually I wanted to put TTW ( tattoo the world) on it , but Will said no. At about 6'6" and 340lbs, I didn't want to argue.Would probably have to shoot him but he's too good a customer ,and friend, to do that too.
