Seat Restoration

[RustyHornet]

Looking to purchase a kit like this? Really only need the hardware, but sticker would be cool too. Before I go sourcing parts at the hardware store and have a machinist make the tools to install the rivets, anyone have a link to something like this?

Just have Joe recover the seat for you. He already has all the stuff.

I’ve already got everything I need minus the parts where the bolts go through the sissy. I’m gonna recover it myself.

Go for it! It’s not rocket surgery. As far as the rivet setter, check a leather supply place like Weaver or even Tandy. Ace hardware has a small selection too.

What are you doing for the covering? I have Solo Polo on the back burner. I’ll probably just go smooth white. Or pleated with the embossed stitching but I can only find it w a smooth line between the pleats.

I found a cheap cover on eBay. I don’t need anything fancy, it’s going on a crusty rider.

Cover is seen here next to the bike. Bike is already done now though.
