I am new here and I am looking for info on restoring a vintage Harley buddy seat. I have the seat pan finished and foam attached to pan and formed. I have searched this forum and only find custom seats with sides sewed to top. This seat is made with 1 piece of leather formed to fit contours and transition from wide to narrow sides of seat with no wrinkles. This seat cover is stitched to a 1" leather collar that is riveted to seat pan. Any body here know how to get leather to form to foam rubber for a smooth apperance? I read here about wet form and do not know how to apply this method to my needs. This seat has low spots where the rump cheeks would sit and when the leather is pulled tight to form around sides of seat the leather pulls up from the low spots and the sides wrinkle on because the seat is pear shaped. Please help. Thanks dale.
