276ccm Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Just started to create a new seat.. the top is just shaped and not tooled yet, even tho I have the design in my head.. the underside is soon ready.. it´s a lot of work for something that most won´t see when it´s attached, but I like the idea of having details, just knowing it´s there :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kustomizer Report post Posted July 18, 2010 The underside is looking great! Can't wait to see the rest. I like those hidden details also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks a lot! :-) Just started on the top side too.. :-) I will add more design and color later.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TroyS Report post Posted July 19, 2010 That's looking pretty awesome! Can't wait to see it finished! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Thanks a lot! :-) Sewing the seat together and my hands are pretty sore since it´s done by hand.. After I´m finished with the stitches I´m going to dye the rest of the seat.. then I have to sew another round since there will be double stitches, and then..

TroyS Report post Posted July 21, 2010 Just out of curiosity? Are there supposed to be horizontal ridges on your letters? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will also add one more thing and I have ordered some chemicals to test this thing out.. it may or may not work, but it´s worth a try! :-) Also testing some color techniques for my next one.. it´ll look old and dirty, but still very shiny..

nogg Report post Posted July 27, 2010 I love the No Virgin seat, how did the coloring, with air-brush? And what do you use, any leather dye? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks a lot! Yea, on this seat I used an airbrush to color the seat.. layer by layer.. I use a danish brand of dye called Narvesvaerte :-) I´m very satisfied with it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted August 18, 2010 Added some dye to a new seat I´m working on.. trying to get it look a little old and worn.. Didn´t want a motive on this one.. But I can´t decide what kind of licing I should use.. it´ll be simple I think, but what color.. any idea? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TroyS Report post Posted August 18, 2010 I think just a simple "XXXXXXXXX" would look great! In 3/16" Natural colored lace. It'll go well with the antique look (which I think kicks total )!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks.. I have already started hehe.. I used the "XXXXXX" stitches and tested a few lines with natural, but I was afraid it looked a little too "new" so I dyed it dark brown.. I like the contrast with natural on a brown seat, but... :-) I only had 3mm licing.. it could have been a little wider, but no time to get some new.. I think (hope) it´ll work as it is..

276ccm Report post Posted August 20, 2010 And the result... tata: I have already started on a new seat... which have to be finished, or at least look finished this weekend.. I will also ad more graphic to the skull.. And as for now my bathroomfloor is working as a working area.. finishing up some stuff.. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) oh, and then done.. I used the suede part of the leather on the undeside.. never tried that before.. I will add a lot of leather grease to it and polish it real well prevent it from sucking up water.. Edited August 20, 2010 by 276ccm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

276ccm Report post Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks a lot! Another Motorcycle bobber kind of solo seat with a brass frame.. so far no graphics on theis one, but the cool thing is that it is pretty easy to unscrew the screws and change the leather.. if I want different designs..

276ccm Report post Posted October 13, 2010 Just finished another seat.. for the Bullet Bobber which will be shown at Oslo Motor Show.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted January 24, 2011 The last seat I made was for a new bobber project.. It won the jurys award at Oslo Motor Show 2010.. Here is the bike with the seat on.. (I also pinstriped the bike) Also made a belt cover for the show with the builders name, the painters name and me for leather and pinstriping.. and the photoshoot... Now, I´m working on a new seat, with a celtic, viking/dragon motive.. this one is for a long fork chopper.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
