A guy, in his cave, building a custom motorcycle. It's been a goal of mine to build a motorcycle from the ground up; using handcrafted parts from independent fabricators from the USA, and craftsmen from the Motorcycle Community. Voodoo Vintage, HammerInHand, Bloodwing Customs, Cobra, Ultima, RC Components... the list is growing. If you are an independent fabricator, let me know what you make. b...
Lacing Custom Leather Solo Seat (HammerInHand)

Lacing up my first hand tooled leather solo seat. After I tooled the leather, I pre molded the top, then it dried, so I had to moisten it again. Cameo appearance from Barney, one of my Greyhounds.

Переглядів 30 тис.8 років тому
For this build, I wanted a clean, simple custom solo seat. The Hammer in Hand DIY solo seat fits the bill. The kit I ordered comes with a 10 gauge powder coated steel seat pan with closed cell neoprene foam attached and shaped, 8 oz vegetable tanned tooling leather, top and bottom, some 2 prong lacing needles, 10 yards of premium kangaroo lace, tracing film, and some cool decals.
Tool hack for Buell XB9s XB12 swing arm pivot bolt

I bought this used 2006 Buell Lightning for a project build. No factory tools included and I needed to remove the swing arm. Sometimes desperation is the motivation for creativity.

Shut up take my soul and I'll take the bike
?what?
I'm not sure rediscovering common knowledge can be called a "hack"... but whatever. Us motorcycle riders have been using spark plug sockets to pull our wheel axles pretty much since I could remember.
This is amazing. How are you able to keep the leather strip from bunching as you lace? Seeing you interact with the dog lets me know you're a good man, and makes me want to be your friend
nice PC800
WHAT A HALF ASS VIDEO --------USELESS
The frame was a VooDoo Choppers Check them out and their full line up on parts and frames styles and options.
Elegantly simple! Thanks for posting.
Love it! I may try something similar!
great video! thanks for sharing. i am just getting into leatherwork. one of my first pieces of REAL work is going to be on my old solo seat. good work!
Good luck, and have fun. The solo seat in this video was the my first attempt at making something out of leather.
Didn't see how he laced it . Just movements . Doesn't help.
Great work man!! ....just how great is it to make as many as your custom parts as you can. Its what its all about. Real nice. thanks for all your work.. Make the first ass to sit on that seat a good one. thanks again
Thank you for the encouragement Scott!
Great bike Bobby. :-)
Brutal ;)
same trick i use for the rear spindle :)
Thanks for the link to Voodoo Vintage Relic, btw nice bike.
awesome work, im looking into purchasing some tools to get started... what do you recommend? i dont think i need to spend money on a kit and just purchase exactly what i need and with time add to the tool set... I also will like to redo my seat on my street bob
Best advice is to watch a lot of videos! I watched a lot of videos on UA-cam to figure out what designs/patterns I wanted, then what the tools I needed. Once I figure that out, I went online and bought what I needed. To start, I would get a ball point stylist and tracing film to transfer your patterns, a swivel knife, and a mallet. For the leather seat I made, I used only three tools: a bevel, pear shader, and a matting tool. This was my first attempt at carving leather, so if I can do it, you can too. Hope this helps bro!
Oh yeah, I also got rivets and a rivet setter =)
Wow... that's some freaky fast hammering. I'll bet you can thread a sewing machine with it running!
Just an FYI, Buells come with, in their underseat tool kit, the 'tool' your friend made with 2 nuts. You may be able to find it on eBay if truly necessary. It's just a long 7/8 nut that looks like 2 nuts welded together. The spark plug socket works well enough though
Hey what size socket did you use?
The socket is for a 13/16 spark plug. But the important piece is the size of the other end, which is 7/8. I spoke to a friend who bought a bolt and 2, 7/8 nuts and jammed them together on the end of the bolt. He inserted the nuts into the swingarm bolt, and used a ratchet to drive the bolt with the nuts, and out came the swingarm bolt. Hope this is helpful!
Nice!!!!! At that speed the rest of the build will be done in no time :)
Damn that's nasty
Wow, that is going to be an awesome looking Bike!!
