RE: Need Ideas
It's interesting that you ask. I just bought a used Corbin seat for my girlfriend's bike on-line, and it had as small tear in the leather. I ended up taking it to a shoe repair place. The guy there said he can only put a patch on it for $7.00. Good news is he did a great job, and when the seat is on the bike, the patch was not really noticeable. It was a well-spent $7. I would suggest trying a shoe or leather repair shop first. Good luck however.

I need to fabricate a plate that will cover up the cut in the leather of the tour pack speaker pods since I won't be using the volume controls. Any ideas?

RE: Need Ideas
If nothing else, install the volume control as a dummy; at least it will fit.
Or, try a trophy shopusing the volume control as a template, and have it engraved with your theme, bike name, etc.
Hang on to that premium leather tour pak. It will be an evenscarcer item now that the '08 SE Ultra has gone to the standard Ultra King TP.
And Welcome Home--thanks for your service.

Why not just get a Harley medalion of some sort and stick it on there? Or just take a piece of sheet metal and cut it to the size/shape you want and then powdercoat it.

RE: Need Ideas
Good ideas here. I'm afraid of the cost of the harley switch to just be used as a dummy. I'll check out some trophy shops to see what we can come up with.
