I'm recovering the seat on the Chopper now. My FLHT is up next. Ebay sourced Italian goat skin. Doesn't help you any, but DIY is always an option. Momma have a sewing machine? That's about all it takes.

I just left for weeks vacation. I'm in Boston tonight. Flying to LA in the morning.
I'll get you a shipping price when I get back. $100 plus shipping sound fair?
Thanks, Todd

So here's the chopper seat with the new goat skin cover:

Now, I admit I didn't use momma's sewing machine. I used my grandmother's hand crank Singer. She got it for her wedding sometime in the 1920's. How it survived WWII (during which it was bombed), a boat trip to Canada and a Dutch funeral, I don't know, but I wound up with it.
