Pics are showing up here just fine. Send me a link for where you can't see the pics and I will try to help you troubleshoot the problem.

Hi Steve!

Thanks for all the info on a all leather ground seat. Your way of fitting the seat jockey before putting fork cover and cutting hand hold worked really well for me.

I am having trouble understanding how you would sew the ground seat and what it is actually doing? Sorry I am a little slow sometimes:helpsmilie:

Thanks Billy

Thanks for the reply, Steve. Do you have any pictures of the lined edge of your hand hole. I'm not clear on how you glue or sew that piece of 3-4 oz. to make a nice finished edge to and bottom.

thanks, Tom

Buck,If you want use dextrine on the cover piece,it will get harder then.Sometimes i sew all the groundseat togather on the back side of the hand hole,won't ever move then.

Steve

Take a piece of 3 4 oz. strap and cover the cut out up to where your fork cover tucks under the gullet

My question is: Is not there a risk that the seat does not hold the weight of the rider? The risers are sufficient to support the weight?

Thank you very very much for the answer

Thanks, you're very kind.

Pardon my insistence, another question: you put 3 layers of leather? thickness of 13/15 oz? And risers that are thick?

Thank you for your patience

My Association has a leather ground seat. Because I live in forest country we frequently experience high humidity, the wet kind. It would take a sledgehammer to soften the ground seat. Mildew should be a primary concern, not the ground seat might soften.
