MC show, David's seats and more

[MADMAX22]

Hey went to the motorcycle show today up here in seattle and guess what I saw. A few of David's seats and a couple of others that I have no idea. One looked really good but when I asked who did it they said it was a trade secret, lol whatever. Anyways ......

David your seat still looked great but I would try and tell those people how to take care of them. However they were still very nice and the tooling was excellent. Great job.

I've had this discussion with them before. They order a show seat, then ride the Hell out of it before they take it to the show. They polish the bike and ignore the seat. A little saddle soap and some neutral kiwi shoe polish would do wonders. Better yet a seat to show and a cheap seat to ride makes more sense if you are a builder.

I think the trade secret seat was by Duane Ballard. I'm not sure but I think that is his work.

Thanks David, I must say your seats still looked aewsome. It was great seeing your work in person, I think people thought I was a little weird because I was more interested in your lacing and such then the motorcycle. I know your tooling looks really good in your pictures but seeing it in real life I was like wow thats great.

There were two other seats that I saw that were custom but I couldnt get to them to get close ups because they were roped off. Both were from the early 90's. Ahhh well.

ah yes I was at the S & S 50th in La Crosse Wi. I was set up there anyways there was a Sucker Punch Sally Dealer there. They thought I was nuts to admiring the hand tooled seats on the bikes. Im in the boonies n the wrong part of the country. To see handy work of other craftsman Is like seeing a rock star up close lol. I was asked to do a seat but declined till I can get a seat to practice on. keep up the great works and whos ever work I saw It was beautiful.
