Hey OldPhat thanks for the kind words and don't know if I have said anything to you before but I am an old Sparks NV. guy myself. Lived there from 1975 to 2010 retired from the City of Sparks.
Damn that boy has some skills. As heavy as leather hides and as much of his bike is covered I can't imagine how much that bike weighs. There is some beautiful pieces on there.
How did you attach the leather to the lower doors?
On the lower doors I shaved the edges down pretty thin got them wet and formed them around the edges, then when it was formed and dry I put contact cement on both pieces and glued them on. They are staying good.
