Members BubbaJon Posted April 9, 2014 Members Report Posted April 9, 2014 Recently finish a new seat for my bike. I'm pretty happy with it. Master of understatement! That is some dang nice work - especially the side lacing. What did you decide on for waterproofing? Quote

Members Razmot Posted April 12, 2014 Members Report Posted April 12, 2014 Very cool looking, like it a lot. Iwas thinking the same thing about the eyelets, what about the leather splitting is that my eyelet newbe concern,... Quote
