Saddle for Lowride Chopper

Recommended Posts

The local bike (Lowmaster) shop guy makes Iron Horses. Thought I try and get some trade from his people, and made up this saddle for his Norton Lowrider. I sketched for a few days, and came up with the usual skulls, and such, gave that up, and just started tooling. This is how it ended up, some kind of cross between a saddle and a tribal /sherwood forest flame thing. It turned out alright I guess, he liked it. Hopefully some tens and twenties come my way in the near future.

Probably two days work, drawing/figuring, stamping, and handstitching. He didn't want padding.

8oz.belt leather top, 3oz bottom, sunburst dye job with tan first, lt brown dry rubbed edge, antique over, snowpruf finish.

Very cool seat and odd shape wich one can say about the bike too.

Nice design and layout, the tribal flames seems suiting to this bike.

Smooth basketstamping!
