All the expensive stuff on the Yamaharley  needs to be bought now so …. being as stoney as a biblical execution I’ve had to crack on with stuff that costs nowt!

So went into the garage to sift through my pile of leather donated by Heisenburg (from an old sofa I believe) to find that the Rats had been in the garage and chomped through all but one panel – not through  an edge either – oh no right through the centre of every sheet – time for some special blue popcorn for you guys!

Anyway, took the seat pan and cut out some old blue camping  bedroll I scooped out of a campsite skip after last years Grand Prix. Stuck this to the base and then bonded (glued) the leather over the top .Then re drill through the holes (and leather) before popping in these natty little screw in ‘rivets’. Then stretched over the leather, a small hole with a braddle then pop the back of the rivet on to hold the leather in place. Home made saddle for  about a tenner (+ springs and bracket). …… the ‘scavenger’ way!
