I have done lots of leatherwork for a lot of years, but haven't tried a motorcycle seat before. I don't work with steelwork so I'd have to buy the seat pan. I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried one of the seat kits from Hammer In Hand Company? http://hammerinhandcycles.com/Parts.html They sell a kit with pre-cut leather parts, leather bottom piece pre-attached to the seat pan, pre- shaped closed cell foam pad, leather stamps and tools, lacing, dyes, finishes, tracing film, and even wool daubers. Since I already have the tools, dyes, and stuff, they also sell a refill kit. Which is what I was thinking about starting with. Any thoughts? Thanks

Lots of $$$$ for the kit! Just buy a seat pan (www.accufast2d.net) and make it. You've done leather work for years, you shouldn't have a problem. You might ask if Accufast could weld the mounts for you. Good luck!

Ya they do make a nice kit but more for the guy who hasn't done leather work...

Just get the pan... I have some and sell them if you want.

I've used 1/2" up to 1". I'm sure you could use 2" but remember you have to mold around that height. This seat is 1"

Y-Knot Lace. If I cover the bottom with leather I don't rivet. I glue it on and the lace holds the rest. Haven't had a problem not riveting.
