benlilly1 Report post Posted January 2, 2019 This was a stressful seat and a deadline. Not knowing how to go about it, it turned out better than I expected but room for improvement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, 1) Forming foam to fit in the open areas and allowing for the leather. 2) stitching diamond pattern in 5 oz. veg tan and I've never done it before after forming. 3) realizing that when you build up from underneath the top piece grows bigger (chrome piece) 4 minutes ago, VYO said: Really nice seat!

SickMick Report post Posted January 2, 2019 Well done! That's a tough job there. That center piece would be a bugger to work around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted January 2, 2019 Fantastic seat! A learning experience, (which are much easier without the deadline)! You totally nailed it. I wonder how those bumps on the perimeter feel after about 50 miles...I don't ride, so maybe they don't even notice. Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
