Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 28, 2013 Members Report Posted March 28, 2013 1/4" in an 1/8" hole will fill out nicely. I made the mistake of doing 1/4" in 1/4" hole and it just leaves a huge gap. Kind of made it look like a Tandy Kit to me. But, like I said, that's preference for me. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with your seat - just my observations and how they relate to what I did Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms

Members chancey77 Posted March 28, 2013 Members Report Posted March 28, 2013 YOU MESSED UP AT WAITING SO LONG TO START MAKING SEATS:) LOLOLOL Dude you should have started doing these long ago! great job! Quote
Members REDTAILHAWK Posted March 28, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks, Chancey77, I at least hope I'll be around to make a couple more. I have already started work on the second one. Searching through some of the old pattern books to find a pattern to give me some ideas. My wife told me if I tool a traditional western design on a seat we can buy a bike to put it on. Quote
