Other Parts Of Tooled Seats?

Recommended Posts

What material do you use to finish the seat after the tooled portion? In other words what do you sew onto the tooled parts to complete the seat. Vinyl? Lamb skin? chap and upholstery sides? Thanks for sharing. I am about to start my third seat. The first I covered the whole seat with the tooling leather. The second one used nagahyde. The next is a Corbin single seat and the customer wants and is willing to pay for top quality material.

I assume you're referring to 2-up seats or the common manufactured seats that fit the shape of the bike and not sprung solo seats? lightweight leather will be the best, something in the 2 - 3 oz range to make it easier to get around those weird corners. If you're going to tool a leather seat, make it a leather seat and not a leather and something else seat.

I like to use pigskin. Its plyable and strong, but still natural.
