Am in the process of putting on the final touches on the bike before sending the tins out for paint. Thought it would be a good idea to get the seat squared away. So reached out to Roger who swung by to take a crack at it. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Roger in the past when he did my K9 -http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/customizing/1489-tooled-leather-seats-bags-15.html that was truly an unbelievable experience, but meeting him in person tops it. Boy oh boy for a man with his talent, experience and fame; he is down to earth, a man of few words and fascinating results.

Warned Roger that I would post dirty pictures of him tooling around :lol: :lol: so here they are. (Forgot to mention Roger is a HUGE dude - you don't want to mess with him, but then again he wouldn't hurt a fly :2thumbs: :2thumbs: )

Here's the seat slayer :lol: :lol: (heard of carving turkey with that not seats :lol: :lol: )


Tooling around


The getting there "L@@K" - nearly done


Whew - All done, trimmed the rear down so it would flow with the fender, extended the in the back and the front (notice the little cardboard stencil he made for the front - that will end up as a pan extension with foam around the tip of the tank, tucked underneath).


There you have it a MASTER AT WORK.

Looks better already, much smoother and more integrated looking.

Hey I forgot to mention it before but we got lots of stingray here in black and a few colors. If you wanted to do a leather seat with inlayed stingray and Roger is into it I can send you a skin in black or the color of your choosing that would accomodate an inlay up to about 9 inches wide by 12 long for free if you just pay for the Fed Ex.
