Thanks David👍, glad you enjoyed it.

Brilliant work. Might have been nice to have your own logo embroidered onto it Dell?

You are a true craftsman, I’d love to have a seat like that for my 2014 sportster custom.

It looks fantastic, Del! It's interesting that many on the iconic shapes that stand the test of time, like a Coca Cola bottle or an old Corvette Stingray follow the curves of the human female form. Your Sportster has similar flowing lines, from the highs of the top of the tank to the lowest parts of the saddle, to the hump, or "ump", depending on where you're from, rounding off pleasingly. Wimmens's curvaceous shapes are all around us, and that's fine by me! :)

Seeing that final result after all the preliminary cutting and gluing and shaping is quite a wonder to behold! If I had attempted that, the result would have been more like a Frankenstein monster of lumpy wrinkly material, crooked stitches, misaligned staples, and bolts sticking out everywhere, hahaha. This great episode went by far too quickly. All that hard work done being distilled down into a few short minutes, but Bravo!

A nice custom touch! I've reupholstered a few car seats, but my sewing machine won't handle leather. If I ever figure out what I need to eat to start crapping money, I'll get a nice Juki leather machine like the one at your upholsterer's.

Hi Del and Penny, who is this idiot that critiques you? I just really got into your videos with the sportster refurbish and I think it's great. Can't wait to see the finished product. I will describe him as ignorant and jealous. You two keep up the good work.

Great video, Penny and Del. Ooh... a field trip! Very cool that you got some hands on training at Lucky Foot. I saw the hourly rates on the wall... did you have to pay "If you 'help'", or "If you worked on it first"? Seriously though, the seat looks amazing - Jane has some amazing skills. Take care, my friends. Have a wonderful weekend and be well.

Hi Del , I think it's always a bit of a trade off when it comes to seats , aesthetics vs comfort , but given the way I feel at present after a decent ride out I'd swap my La Pera Silhouette for yours anytime. What a fantastic job the lady did and so interesting to watch.

@Moonfleet41

You make some absolutely spot on points there mate, I've had both Le Pera Silhouette and Bare Bones seats, and I've probably still got lingering back issues to prove it! Their best performance is parked outside the cafe looking good, in my view, they're not fit for purpose as a seat and you're dead right, comfort these days is a primary consideration!

You certainly have a creative eye Del. What a brilliant video, so interesting & what a great result. That seat is perfect 👍
