David Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Some weeks back, I was commissioned to do a Bear Paw seat....I'll post a couple pics in case you don't remember. As I was finishing it up, the customer added a p-pad to the order. Well, that means a wet molded project which is not exactly my fortee (that means I just never do wet molding). So, I contacted the best guy I know for the job....Roger Harris... aka Beezachoppa. Here is our result for the project. Dave Theobald Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windy Report post Posted June 30, 2008 David, Nice work as usual. Where is the extra lace on the pad ? I looked at it and thought something does not look quite right. Then it came to me the extra row of lace was not on the pad. WINDY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WINDY david felt that the extra lacing would be too much on the p-pad. the passenger would also be sitting on that lace as it would of been on top and would be uncomfortable for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnD Report post Posted July 4, 2008 I, also, believe that the lace serves a purpose on the seat, as David does not wet form there would be slack in the leather over that contour on the front. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the laced seam takes up that slack to help the leather fit the shape of the seat. Vey nice work, from both of you. David, I finally got to see quite a bit of your work up close this summer, both at the smoke out and the Greasebag jamboree. ( David actually donated a seat for raffle and sponsored a trophy for the show) There must have been 10 or so bikes with your seats on them at the smokeout. I was not disappointed. All very impressive. Roger, missed you at the SO this year, Spoke to your friend on sunday. Hope all is well, See you next year? John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While that front lace LOOKS like it is intended to take up slack around the sharp bend in the nose....it is actually is just decoration. Thanks for looking at it.
