Roger Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Posted June 6, 2007 beeza, Another great seat. Man how many have you done to date, it seems like its been 3 years since I first saw them on chopperweb. I am glad to hear that you got the tools from Barry the ones I made didnt turn out to well. Ashley Thanks Ashley! i have done somewhere between 75 and 80 in about 3 1/2 years. i love the tools i got from Barry and want to get a few more as i can afford to do so. i want to also pick up another swivel knife and one of his mallets Thanks Dave! I do my best to help anyone with questions. i don't know near as much as some but, i will always offer my ways of doing things. yes! veg tan leather drakens up nicely and there is no dye to fade or wear off.

Ambassador The Major Posted June 6, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted June 6, 2007 I usually tell guys to take their seats inside during the winter especially if they are in an area where there may be mice etc. They love leather. My former neighbor lost the interior of his Corvette to the little buggers. That's gotta hurt! I guess no one told him about the irish spring trick. Put an open bar of irish spring bar soap on each tire and toss one or 2 on the floor of the interior. The mice can't stand the smell for some reason. Plus it smells a heck of allot better than moth balls. Quote Shawn Zoladz (The Major) dba Major Productions Everything Leather Saddles and Shoes Excluded You can lead me. You can follow me.

Billy P Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 It is darkening up nicely Roger, It is looking darn good.Dave Hey Roger, I take it that the Triumph is your bike. My buddy has an old girder front end like yours on a 1969 900cc XLH Sportster. Another friend is working on about a 64 or 65 Triumph with a springer front end. Your seats are really nice, I have been seeing your work since you joined the IILG a year or so back. At least that is when I first saw your work. You and Duane Ballard both have really made a jump in your work. How was the Smoke-Out this year? I hope/plan on going to the EasyRider show in Charlotte N.C. after the first of the Year 2008 and if nothing don't happen going to the Smoike out next year too. Later and with Regards Billy P Quote Billy P SideLine Leather Co. Leatherworker.net/Forum

Members Amaral Posted March 24, 2009 Members Report Posted March 24, 2009 here is the seat with a couple days of sun on it. starting to darken up nicely! Roger, Good afternoon, I dig up this topic to ask you how far the seat darkened with the sun exposure? Thank you Amaral Quote
Members SunshineNative Posted March 25, 2009 Members Report Posted March 25, 2009 Nice rigid! Even nicer seat! WOW! Down here we ride year-round. Only found 2 days back in 1989 that were too cold for a glorious ride! These days Poppa and I ride trikes, but I would still love to customize with my own leather work one day! That is fabulous!!
