55rick Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mulesaw Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!
