This seat is black but I can make this seat in many other colors, like natural, black and brown, tan antique black or red. My vegetable tanned tooling leather is the finest 100% US made, tooling leather available on the market today. It gives the best tooling results. The pan is made of 1/8" inch thick steel. This makes it a very rigid and strong seat pan, that will be able to take a lot of abuse. I wouldn't think of using aluminum pans like some other manufactures use, because all the weight of the rider is resting on the welded bolts, and when aluminum is put under stress it tends to crack. The pan measures 10 1/2" wide by 13" long. The studs in the rear are spaced 7" apart. Custom sizes are available. I can offer custom sizing because I am the manufacture not an importer of these seats. I use closed cell neoprene foam on my seats. Closed cell means that the foam is made up of many micro pockets of air. This provides better cushioning than open cell foam because open cell foam lets the rider bottom out. This allows me to be able to give the seat a more slim profile. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I am going to show you some pictures of how I make my hand tooled leather seats. The designs on my seats are drawn and tooled on the seats by me. They are not laser burnt on thin upholstery leather. You can see from my pictures that the leather I use is so thick that I have to use a saddle makers sewing machine. They are not imported, and mass produced. They are fine examples of American craftsman ship. After the seat is finished and dyed I apply a coat of Aussie leather conditioner. This is a bees wax biased leather conditioner that also helps repel water. Old world American craftsmanship is rare but still out there, if one takes the time to look around.
