Leather Air Filter Cover Featuring A Laser Engraved Celtic Knot

[LLWork]

Just another unique little thing resulting from my never-ending pursuit to customize my motorcycle.

This piece wasn't dyed, rather I sunburned it. I sprayed a fine mist on it and left it in the sun which resulted in the speckling that you can see on it.

That is really cool how long did you leave it in the sun for it to do that?

It will be interesting to see how it holds up to use, and the elements.

How did you attach it to the cover?

Thank you! I thought it was kind of neat.

Months. I just had it near a window in my old shop that would get some sun exposure. After a while, I took it out back to do the water misting, and let it sit for only a couple more hours.

Good eye! I thought I changed it up enough to confuse some people. If you look closely at my turn signals, you might be able to tell I made them from an old chandelier haha

Essentially, it is an air filter cover cover. It's still resting on top of the chrome cover that came with the bike. When I formed it, I popped it in the oven for a little bit, so the leather is insanely rigid and should stay in place with the center bolt. And then, of course, I sealed it all up to protect it from further damage.
