Looks like you have done a really good job. Do you have a heavy duty sewing (industrial) sewing machine. Post a pic with it on your PCX.

Cheers! Both topside and underside look professional! Such a "neat/clean" job. Say,..where did the holes go?

Re: made a new cover for my seat this weekend
Thanks Guys ! i did a couple of cars years ago as a hobby and i am by no means an upholster but i thought i would try the seat to see if i could still do it and yup it was fun .
i did cut out the holes and the area around them added some abs and foam , it's right where i sit and wow what an improvement ! i can stretch my legs out now and ride comfortably , before that hump was always pushing on my back side .
i just pulled the old cover and i make my template by covering the whole seat with masking tape and drawing out my stitch lines , then i mark reference marks to keep things lined up when i sew it together and cut at the stitch line and peal it off .
after that i lay it on the leather transfer my reference marks and cut it a half inch bigger , i did glue 1/2 foam to the part i quilted before i sewed the lines on then i sewed the parts together .
i have a very old black singer model 201 that i use it is all metal and works very nice for leather .
