Scooter Seats!

[Yona]

One is a re-do of a Pro job and the other are ones I did for members of a chopper building site I belong to.....I don't do rivets , black felt, and I hate cross-hatch lace thru big brass eyelets along sewn seams and then call it laceing....

First three~Dragon seat- Cutdown Harley Police airbag seat

next 2~ Cut down Mustang Regal K & Q

And the next 7 are of the re-do.....I think it ended up softer and has a better shape, replaced 2

layers of hard rubber with 1" of closed cell foam, Shaped with 80 grit sandpaper

This went on a WCC chop with a CFL frame

I & 2 - As I recieved it

3&4 - When I finished

5 - Back of seat with molded edges...and my logo.... ; ))

6 - This is a shot of the nose, dark mark in upper left, scar on backside,very thin and badly trimmed edge on right of nose , causing bulge on "laceing"...see 1st pic

Dyed after laceing, and not sealed, when I wiped it off , the color started to come off !!!!!!

7 - This is the back side of the nose, you can see the scar and the very off, marked centerline.

By wrapping the edges of my bottom cover up and over the sides, I was able to trim the top cover and re-punch some of the holes

and added a hole in between each of the other ones, to tighten up the lacing, done with Tandy's black

Welcome Yona, it has been a long time since I visited the Chopper Build forum, kinda redirected myself into leather, great looking seats, there are a couple others on this site that also do beautiful seats, off hand, one is David who does seats for SPS who's lacing is superb, and Gremlin visits once in awhile. Again welcome and enjoy all the great information on leatherworking. Jordan

Hi there

great pic's and wicked seats.

I myself am just venturing into the leather working and have found this site to be a great sorce of information and stuff like yours is really cool.

I 'm in the UK and there does not seem to be a great deal of resource here, tools dyes and stuff

I just hope that this site and people like your self can help me in my new found passion (leather work)

cheers 8ball
