Good day
I work in a tyre bay and recently bought me a cruiser motorcycle. It is a 1993 virago and could not find saddlebags. So the plan came togheter...
I had to make a custom pattern because the flicker light is located the worst place if you want to ad saddlebags.
We have a few wrecked trucks and they have leather curtains in front of the sleeper compartments. The only problem that I had was that they are grey... The rusted vinegar idea is great but would not work for me, I need to weather proof the leather.
I have applied a few layers of black liquid tyre paint (AP20 Victor) and must say it is the best dye that I have ever used. not only does it give you that real mat slightly shiny as new black leather would look, it also weather proof's the leather.
Will add photo's later.
