benlilly1 Report post Posted January 1, 2014 I've had some oiled leather laying around for a while so I made a seat using it. It has that worn used look. A pain to fit the top since it acts like a piece of rubber and wants to shift while lacing. The cure is to cut the top as small as possible so no buckles or movement.

paprhangr Report post Posted January 7, 2014 I like it, what pan did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benlilly1 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Paprhangr, My husband fabricated the pan and we had it painted to match the bike which I will post photos of later. This bike is entered in the Full Throttle Bike invitational down in Florida in a couple weeks. I hope we get everything wrapped up soon. This is very stressful .
