Members 55rick Posted March 13, 2019 Author Members Report Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks everyone. Ahhhhh....the joys of doing custom leatherwork. Client has decided the leather has too much grain and now wants a smoother look leather. Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 @55rick Looking really good. Thanks for also showing the underside. I just talked to a friend today. He and his grown up son have managed to find a 1920 Indian Scout as a cardboard box project. I'll probably get the honour of making the seat for that. I was searching for inspiration when I read your post. Quote

Rick I see this is an old post with a pre 1940 Harley seat pan with no vent holes. I have a few questions, one being how did you stretch the leather to form the leather around the nose area, what size thread was used and what sewing machine? ps: The seat looks darn good! Thanks!
