Members Billy H Posted June 1, 2011 Members Report Posted June 1, 2011 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 Quote
Members harrington Posted June 4, 2011 Members Report Posted June 4, 2011 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 Quote
Members GianniWest Posted September 19, 2011 Members Report Posted September 19, 2011 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 GianniWest Quote www.gianniwest.com
Steve Brewer Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Posted September 19, 2011 You are only bridging 4 "s are so.I would think that the leather will hold the weight of the rider.Haven't had any trouble with them not holding up. Quote
Members GianniWest Posted September 20, 2011 Members Report Posted September 20, 2011 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 gianni Quote www.gianniwest.com

Members Saddlebag Posted August 4, 2013 Members Report Posted August 4, 2013 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. Quote
