David Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone, Today I'm posting the fourth in a series of Signature Seats for Jeff Cochran. This seat will go on a 1966 Harley. The '66 is important to Jeff. It is not only the year of the engine and frame of this bike, it is also the year he was born. It is hard to believe that in all the shovelheads that Jeff has built (probably hundreds) this is the first '66 he has done. He tells me that he's keeping this one..... But I've heard that before! For Jeff keeping it, may mean all summer or until next week! Or it may just mean that he's not going to offer it for sale....he'll just wait until someone makes an offer that he can't refuse! The bike is black with a dark cherry inset on the tank and rear fender.... the seat will probably end up a dark oxblood color. Not the best for showing off the tooling, but it should go well with the bike. Please excuse any problems with the photos. I'm still trying to adjust to the new photo software on this computer.

MADMAX22 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 Looks excellent, wonderful tooling and lacing. Took me a second but noticed the little screws that you have tooled into the label plate. Thats pretty neat (dont know why, guess Im a little weird), gotta ask did you use a phillips head for the center of them. Quote
Members scottishshoemaker Posted April 12, 2010 Members Report Posted April 12, 2010 Once again David, a great seat!!!! Quote
David Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Posted April 12, 2010 Here is the seat in final color. The flash made it look a bit more red that it appears in person. But, here are a few pics so you can see it. Dave Theobald Quote
MADMAX22 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 That turned out excellent David. I think it still managed to show the tooling just fine. Do you think there is a chance you will get a pic of it on the bike? Quote
Members Hawgman Posted April 12, 2010 Members Report Posted April 12, 2010 Once again David as we all expected another great seat. Keep it up and who knows someday you may get good at this. JK Quote

David Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks for the comments, I should have a pic of it soon. Jeff was holding up a photo shoot of the bike until I delivered the seat so it shouldn't take long. Dave Quote
