Redneck Bullet Bobber - In Progress



Upcomming leather & airbrush project - A good friend of mine (Knut Olav Dybsjord) just finished the "Bullet Bobber" (it´s not quite finished on these pictures, but you get the idea..) which I´m going to airbrush and make a leather seat for.. It has to be done within three weeks for a Custom Motorcycle Show in Norway. It will be built to fit two engines.. one Harley Davidson and one S&S for show.. Stay tuned for update pictures of the progress..

El Presidente - Leather Seat


I just got a picture from a good friend which is building a pretty huge and freaking long chopper out of a Redneck frame, and I´m going to make a leather seat for it.. Most of the details on the bike is hand made and one of a kind built by the Bönna (CBB).. Check out his blog here for a lot more details on the bike and other custom built motorcycles.. it´s absolutely worth a look..

Sewing the seat together and my hands are pretty sore since it´s stitched by hand.. After I´m finished I´m going to dye the rest of the seat.. then I have to sew another round since there will be double stitches, and then.. I have to start on another one..

Leather - Solo Seat No Virgin (in progress)


Scetched Virgin Mary and added the text "No Virgin", then transfered the design over to what is going to be the top of the leather solo seat.. I will add some more design to it later and try a technique which I have never seen on a motorcycle seat before (maybe there is a reason for that, heh..), but so far I´m just tooling the no longer virgin, Mary..
