Just trying to help.......................

 

If your any good at stitching I have plenty of sheet leather which I can sell you to make your own design with? Eric

 

Be warned - I had a very nice leather seat made up for my T140 years ago - looked great and really comfy as long as you didn't use the bike in the rain - tried everything to waterproof the leather but somehow it always got through and soaked into the foam, leaving me with a wet sponge dilemma for days on end after rain. Soon got fed up looking like I'd just wet myself every time I sat on that wet seat and changed over to a non-leather custom seat which was fine. If you can find a way to waterproof the hide I am sure there are plenty of leather workers out there who could re-cover and re-profile your existing seat and pan with the required material. Try a saddler or upholsterer - they have the skillset.

 

I bought this and its awesome.........or it is very comfortable for me, an old guy with a bad back.

@Tigcraft You sell leathers ? Do you have a store or something.

Making my own saddle is a solution I have seen done by other famous bike builders. My gf and I are pretty handy with our hands... maybe it's the solution.[/QUOTE]
No I don't have a shop, I've just come across a batch of leather at handy money as I had a job for it.

 

I took a stock Bonnie seat to a professional leather upholsterer and discussed the options. He steered me away from leather for all the issues with getting it wet etc. He got me a load of samples and I then chose the one I wanted. It's a faux leather but I asked him to make it up like a bobber style. Pic attached.

 

I should have

sorry I should have added the whole job was £60 and its mint.

 

That sounds very reasonable, if it's a good quality job. Does the guy have a website we could go to, to see more of his work?

hi, it's a standard bonny seat, just black cover removed which he used as a template. I showed him some pics and he then made it from that. No extra padding etc. the company is a small classic car upholsterers in southport, merseyside.

 

It's a one man band based in southport, merseyside. Kew coach trimmers 01704 536787. Mainly specialises in leather trims on cars but is well adverse to doing bike seats. The quality is excellent and he's great to deal with. One of the old trades still alive and well.

 

Sorry should have mentioned he doesn't have a website...very bespoke, all word of mouth
