A.We prefer that you clean and paint your pans and saddle hardware before sending to us. We charge extra for cleaning and painting.

Q:I'm interested in having you do the upholstery. In particular, I'd like to recreate the 1947 deluxe solo, which used a skirt with rosettes.

Also is a buckskin/tan/natural leather color available?

Also, I would rather not repaint my hardware for this seat, as this is an unrestored motorcycle, but if you require it be cleaned and painted, I will do so. I have the pieces that you are requesting, do you need the rest of the seat frame and springs?? As soon as I know the answer to these questions

Q.I need to have my Buddy Seat restored. It is a 1964 FLH and needs the naugahide two tone, do you do these seats? If not, can you reccomend someone that can?

A. We do not work with naugahide. We only work with leather. Sorry I do not have any recomendations for naugahide.

Q.I have a 1953 Harley ST in need of a new saddle. The pan has heavy rust but is solid. Does your price include cleaning and painting the pan?

A.The price does not include cleaning and painting. There is an additional charge for this service. Also heavy rust may make the pan unusable. We will have to determine if the pan is good enough to use.

Q:I noticed that it seems like you restore older bicycle seats but I was wondering if you ever restore banana seats from the 1960s

A:We restore some OLD bicycle seats. We do not work with naugahide or vinyl, only leather.

So this rules out most new bicycle seats.

Q.How are you? Is it possible to send me a brooks leather cover only with the appropriate rivets? It's to fit on an Indian 1909 Indian

A. I am doing fine! We do not sell do it yourself kits. If you want new leather then you will have to have us install it.

A.We do not accept PayPal or any credit cards. Payment is by Wire Transfer for customers without a USA bank. If you have a USA bank then your personal check will be fine.

have an original Servi-Car that the nose of the saddle has the leather worn thin. A small tear has started in the area that inner thigh contacts.

I would look out of place to put a new saddle on a original tattered machine. Is any fix available for this type of wear? Please let me know. Thanks,
