JohnD Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Wow, very nice Roger. My brother is waiting on me to do a softail seat for him. I noticed you don't do the seam in the back and I can't tell if there's one in the front, that most folks do. Your sides look real tight, is it better to leave the seam out? It actually looks like apholstery leather those sides are so smooth and tight. Outstanding work.

Roger Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 thanks for all the compliments guys!! john, you can do the side any way you choose. i have benn doing it in one pice for quite a while now. i think it is cleaner but, it does take quite a bit more leather! a seat this size takes around 9 square feet of leather and you waist the middle. i alway go for smooth tight sides. maybe it's the color on this one but, they all come out smooth and tight. i do have to go back and rework one now and then if it does not lay just right the first time around Quote

Roger Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Posted July 18, 2007 thanks billy! i started the next seat and will post some pics start to finish. here is the last of this never ending job!!! i was glad to finally get it all boxed up last night and on it's way back!! having to re-do the seats really put me behind and quite a bit of material waisted. i would say it pushed me back a good ten days but, only the second time in 85 seats or so that i have had to start over so, i can't complain too much.
