I'm holding off on the final finish on this 2nd seat
I'm a little confused about finishes?
A motorcycle Seat needs:
1. a sealer that protects the dyed leather from rain / sweat
2. Prefer one that is not high gloss
Resolene has been recommended but will it crack?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
My 2nd seat cost me $100 to build with best materials
Pad ....... Foam and More
Pan.........Accufast2D
Leather 7oz.........W&C
Lace.............YKnot lace
I like the basket weave,
Just my beginner observation, i noticed
This seat is little different construction, with pieces joining at a ledge
Instead of meeting in the middle and joint covered by thick basket weave
How you do that
thanks, 9 x the laced length worked for the mexican round braid.
I used 1/4" Roo 3/8" hole spacing on my seat
I cut lace lengths at my arms span about 1.5 yds
Thanks for the post and complement.
I noticed a lot of rear pans bolts are 7", the new pan I got came 6". Wanted hear from someone with 6" mounting
Before I start work on new seat,
Questions:
has anyone made a bobber/chopper seat pan out of fiberglass?
when using the drill press, is there a drill bit that will make a clean hole in leather?
I am a beginner leather worker. just got my first side from W&C 7oz split. I noticed several marks on the grain side?
like something had rubbed it Leaving a marring. Will this show up after dye and finish?
Is this normal to expect from split leather
the flesh side Has a smooth grain, no fuzzy
congrats on your first leather job for $$,
did 2 coats of resolene seal it and did you spray it on?
I put a drop of water on my seat and it left a spot.
guess I sprayed resolene to light.
