Default If you're fat a crash a lot - please read

I want to recover both seats for as little as possible and figure that I could probably do this with the backs of a couple of plain leather jackets.

If you've a plain black leather jacket that may be partly trashed and have no use for it, then I do and would like to hear from you.

Thanks Dave, but it has to be black - red just wouldn't look right.

I got the last lot I needed of a tailors off cuts and cost only a couple of quid - cheaper than the postage to get a jacket sent to you

leather is not so good for covering bike seats.

Dunelm Mill sell leatherette cheaply.

If it isn`t waterproofed properly it gets soggy , and if it is the wrong type of proofing then you are gonna slide about in the saddle .
