Ding Ding, we have a winner!
So I've been off the map for about 8 months. Lots been going on around here. My first daughter is now 4 months old so I haven't had a lot of time with the bike. I decided to try my hand at leather carving and I think it turned out very well.
pics as always....
started with the grips
used the mexican weave to stitch them together
then got busy with the seat
and all installed on the bike
Enjoy! Feedback is always welcome. I want this machine to be pristine when done.
Thanks for looking
Conrad

Hi Conrad,
congratulations on the daughter.
Nice bike.
Nice leatherwork.
Love the pepperbox pistol on the seat.
Google shows it's most likely an Allen & Thurber .36 caliber.

Gawd! Guns and Roses theme on the seat?

Thank you. Don't know what the gun is but I bought it in mexico
didn't mean to do a "guns and roses theme" Named my daughter Catherine Rose and was looking to fill space and saw that gun on the mantle so copied it.
tires are 100/90/19 and 130/90/16
Hi Conrad,
amazing how many ways there are to spell Catherine.
My youngest daughter is Kathryn Mary.
