you can probally buy a substance that will help make it stick and a costom sewer could make it and probally staple it on am i right or rap it all the way around and use a bond to help it stick!

the cloth you can buy, i just wrapped the cloth over the leather seat and stapled it REALLY REALLY REALLY tightly around with a staple gun - the key is to do bit by bit and hold it really tight...

i didnt use any glue or anything to hold it in the middle - if you do it really tight - you dont need it...

where do u buy cloth like that, and around how much was it?

pocketplow · 08-15-2006, 01:04 AM

I have some connections overseas in asia thanks to my dad having offices there, so I had them shipp me over some differant colours...

it cost around $100/yard

hey guys - just to let you know whats happening...

finally got the bike home - and on a assembly table due to it being in storage, the idea of getting the whole frame chromed and polished has been scrap - $700 for the lot - didnt want to spend that much, so gave it a really good degreasing and polish of my own - came out quite nice, pic will be up soon one i get abit more done...

hopefully now - I can get it back up and running -

let the headaches begin...

if anyone has any tips for building it back together - i would reallly love to know them...

thanks!
steve

well assembly started last night, thought it would be worse then what it was - got a fair bit done, hopefully i got everything where it belongs and hopefully i can continue this pace and get the bike running and complete. wasnt happy when i foundout the exhuast i brought doesn't fit - guess im going to have to make it fit!
