I don't know how many pan memebers there are on this forum but I have to say that Worsham Castle Cycle Leather is the best at what he does when restoring old seats and bags. These are pics of a HD seat my pop gave to me some 35 years ago. Unfortunatley I did not take any pics of the before I sent it away. Michael is a true artist and craftsman. The jewels and such are the originals that were on the seat. He polished and cleaned the glass jewels and when needed redid some of the nickel finish without losing the patina that goes with old parts. His website is worshamcastle.com.

 

CAREFUL,

i had a 1939 seat and a 1941 solo seat done by worsham castle in brown summit, NC. gave mike p. two seat pans, a non-vented(1939) and a vented(1941). when the seats arrived. my 1939 had a 1941 vented seat pan,,and my 1941 has the 1939 non-vented seat pan. when i told mike he got it wrong,,he blew a gasket and told me thats what i ordered! funny part is, my wife was in the kitchen when i ordered the seats,,she remembers how i made it very clear the 1939 seat MUST have the non-vented pan. he refused to help in the error.....live and learn!! im out $610 bucks and two seat pans.

 

then guy then attacks me on an AMCA web site and says im selling seats i purchased from him as originals. how do you sell a 1939 seat as original with wrong seat pans?? i owned 10 original harley seats before i meet mike. now he claims he recovered them all. what a piece of work. go ask larry heilman if you think im joking, seems mike also attack him on the same site.

 

Not going to get into a pissing match w/ you. All I am saying is that the work he did for me was very well done and fair priced. I did not include the pictures of the bags that came w/ my 49EL but they too were restored to quality condition.

You want to cry foul, it is your right cuz that what this (and all forums) should be all about. Better yet come over to the Classic American Iron website and lay it out so that the problem can be laid out. I know you will say he should come here but I do not know if he subscribes here. I do know that he post on the CAI site as well as the hydra-glide.net site.
