276Ccm´s Leatherwork..

[276ccm]

Added some color to it, but I think maybe it looked better as "natural" but that is too late now :-)

I was contacted by CBP in Norway, which was going to build four Victory motorcycle signature models for the band Motörhead.. one for each member, which will be their own and one extra.. I was asked if I wanted to make the leather solo seats for these bikes, and hell yeah!! :-) Terje Aspmo did the airbrush job..

Probably the coolest job I´ve ever done, but also a hell of a lot of work! But all worth it :-)

Started out by raw templates:

Then tooled the basic motive for each seat:

Making sure everything fits well:

Cutting all the other templates around the seats and starts to lace them together:

Even more leather dye:

Also making a brown seat, which is going to be Lemmy´s:

Lemmy´s seat before attaching it to the bike:

Mikkey Dee´s seat:

Phil Campbell´s bike:

Mikkey Dee´s bike:

Lemmy´s bike:

And a proud moment.. me and the band:

Afterwards, Lemmy shakes my hand, and to use his own words about my seats: "######ing awesome"

They where all very exited about the bikes, and really cool and down to earth guys!

Doesn't even look like the same seat anymore with the pad and coloring. Did you mix that color or is it straight?

Very K@@L looking seat!

Is the material around the sides what you use for making your template/pattern? What is it?

I've been using plastic to make most of my patterns, then transfer it to something stiffer. I've been using some heavy paper/cardboard material that I get from Tandy. It's supposed to be a bag stiffener, like for ladies purses.
