Hello,

my friend asked me to refurbish the seat of his bike. The seat is like this: 

2014-harley-davidson-knucklehead-classic

So the hard part is the concave shape. I guess I have to wet the leather and work the shape in it, then let it dry before sewing it in? 

The old leather was quite thin, maybe 2mm (5oz), and there was only thin layer of soft foam under it, and everything was glued together; foam to the seat pan and leather to the foam. Is that a correct way to do it?

Wow that came out really nice. What did you finish it with?

Haven't seen that one. Is it wax based? It leaves a nice mellow sheen.
