David Report post Posted February 15, 2008 You got it going on, David! WOW!!~J Thanks Johanna, It didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped. I used block out on the waves to leave them natural leather.....it worked beautifully on my scrap test piece....but failed on my seat. Not too sure what happened. I used multiple coats but it just didn't work. Strange. But thanks for the attaboy. It is always most appreciated. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Report post Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the feedback on this seat. The good new about it is that it isn't sold. I'll be giving it away. It is going to be going on my son's latest bike/bobber that he is building currently. So it will be staying in the family.

David Report post Posted March 21, 2008 Johann, The engine in the bike on the lift is a 100 inch RevTech. It should push this little bobber pretty fast. This is my son's second build. Here is his first...the engine in this one is a stock shovelhead from 1978. He rebuild the engine while he attended American Motorcycle Institute in Daytona, Florida and finished the build while he worked for Sucker Punch Sallys.
