Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Being a leather worker myself...very nice work. The precision of the dying is outstanding and that lace job took a LOT of lace and time. She's very good.

Dude, you've been holding out on us.
EDIT: Oh wait, you haven't. I remember her work and her site.

Thanks guys. Yes a lot of work in that seat. My crappy pix do no justice. She really knocked this one out of the park. When she drew the picture I had no idea she could actually pull this off on leather but it came out better than I could have ever imagined.

One question: Where is the rear bracket? How does it stay attached to the bike?

I just have to rivet the old bracket. Back on. I was so excited I forgot all about it.

Wow, that is outstanding. How about a shot of it on the bike when you get the bracket back on?

Thanks for the replies guys. I am waiting on my Nash bars and internal throttle. I have to relocate all the switches, remove the front brake and some other stuff. Pics will be posted when everything is done.

Wow. That is unreal. Amazing leather work, amazing design, just bad.
Only drawback, having a seat so nice might come back to bight you on the a$$.
(I apologize for that joke)
