---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This video stands out how important is the making of molds to get a tailor-made cover for a motorcycle seat. If we get a precise mold the cover should snugly fit over the foam seat with a minimum of effort.
Moreover, it is also a review of 'basic sewings and trims' we have seen on another videos. We would realize they are the same used on the most humble or luxurious seat.
The cover was thoroughly foamed with a 3 mm thick foam as a lining. An exception on top where I used a 1 cm foam for the raised channels. No sewing was used for it. To form the channels the lines on leather were 'heat pressed' onto a thick muslin fabric. To do the strong attachment I used a 'polyurethane gtransparent glue' which is mostly used by shoemakers on shoes and sports tennis manufacture.
The two 'piping trims' were done following the technique shown on former video (non-pip inside).
It also should be noted the use of a 'leather skiving machine' to ease the procedure on leather upholstery.
I hope you enjoy the video and find it useful!

[@montaser680]

Hello at what cost this seat is held

[@Cechaflo]

@@montaser680 I have no much idea, but I think 150 USD as a minimum. But, in USA costs much more.

Good work my name is Joshua D allahnana from Nigeria I will like to work with you sir

[@samhutson7966]

The design is appealing to the eye!? I think it’s a great show of talent and skills! The design is as bold as the mind can travel- limitless!!

[@franz909]

You'd be surprised to know how many people that do sew can't do what this master craftsman does , making patterns , superb sewing skills making a functional product .

[@Cechaflo]

Thanks so much for appreciating this art craft!

[@1979augistine]

I'm thankful to this man and his ability to show others how to create from beginning to end and making the process so easy that those with very little experience want and can make their own seats with very little worry

[@1979augistine]

Patience and being methodical makes the hardest of things so much more easy i cant thank these videos enough. When i have issue sewing or making a pattern i go back and watch this man and his incredible way he teaches and i end up figuring out how he's doing it and end up figuring out my projects

[@raceme1tyme]

i bought a sewing machine, and it will be here tomorrow. This is my dream to make custom motorcycle seats

[@donovanlucibello379]

I wish you a blessed and prosperous thanksgiving holiday!

[@dustynbustos5983]

That Kawasaki green and black is a personal favorite. You do such a nice job of fitting your seat covers, you never seem to need to reach for the heat gun. 😁

[@Fisiek_Inferator]

As always.... it's a pleasure to watch the little masterpiece is being crafted. Wish to see that seat fitted on the bike

[@Cechaflo]

Unfortunately, there is no bike. It is going to be in my shop as a decorative sample. Thanks for watching!

[@garyfairman2805]

Adding piping to upholstery sure makes it look alot more custom. Nice work.. I see other work without piping it's just to plain for me.. your work diffently stands out. And you can see you really care what you work looks like👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Theluckyneedle]

Great Video! I have never seen pleats done in that way before. Very cool. It always amazes me how differently you and I approach upholstery but still end up with great results.

[@Cechaflo]

Hello John, Thanks so much for kind comment! I have tried to emulate those old cars whose seats had 'heat pressed channels'. Furthermore, I used to do it on motorcycles seats, at the beginning of the eighties. I had a bigger machine at that time and all the seat pleats came out at one go. Above all, it is just an application of basic sewings we can find in a humble and the most luxurious car. I think it depends on how to put them together. Merry Christmas!

[@Theluckyneedle]

@@Cechaflo That's a great way to emulate those pleats. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas to you as well. Hey by the way you should check out the forum I started. You have a lot of fans on there and they would love hear from you. www.TheUpholsteryForum.com

[@Cechaflo]

Hi John, Thanks for kind reply. Moreover, I would be glad to join the Lucky Needle Upholstery Forum. One more of your great efforts to create this forum for the sake of enthusiasts and passionate people in the upholstery trade. I have been checking interesting topics off and on, but not lately. I would be glad to participate and share some ideas. As we all know, we never stop learning from each other and should update ourselves everyday. BTW I just saw a related thread of this december 2018 to heat pleating. Such a coincidence! It would be interesting to contribute with some useful information.

[@Cechaflo]

The thread is neon thread. The material is leather black for the lateral pieces and the green neon for the center panel. I bought some green pigment and sprayed it over this portion before sewing process.

[@artworkbyjen]

Dude. You are a freaking MASTER! I love the look of that seat. I wish I had access to a surger like that. I'm have a few questions. Is there a way to build up a rear ridge to create a deeper saddle on a plastic pan solo seat? Maybe you have a vid of how to change to a deeper saddle? And, what kind of thread do you use when sewing leather? I only have a regular sewing machine, but I'd love to try something like this. I wish I had a way to do the pleated panel. That is totally badass. You are an artist, bro.

[@Cechaflo]

Hello, yes, it is possible to create the deeper saddle. I do not have a how-to video. When sewing leather I use the 'standard polyester thread 92 size for the 'basic closing sewings'. In case of decorative stitches a 138 size suits well. A 110=18 needle for the thin thread and a 140=22 needle for the thicker decorative thread. I have videos related to do regular pleats:kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoCml4eVfZd3frs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqad35vnqZmpLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn27gYt-ndVkl8k I suppose this is what you asked for at the beginning...I mean the raised saddle:kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3isgoGqqshnf80 Thanks for watching the videos!

Estimado Michael, Simplemente es la aplicación de algunas técnicas básicas que se han mostrado en videos anteriores. ¡Muchas gracias por ver estos videos!

[@Hellsong89]

Looks absolutely amazing and i'm probably going to implement some of these design choices on my bike, how ever why green folds do not seem to have any foam in them and further more this design has serious flaw where when it rains these folds collect the water and it will seep to foam from the seams. It would be best to treat the seams with some leather grease or oil to prevent water getting in.

[@multishit6664]

OEM seats have a plastic liner over the foam. That would be the best soultion.
