Default Gas Tank Leather

Ive seen where some Breakout owners are replacing the tank console with the Blackline console because they are the same tank. I however would like to remove the console all together and replace it with leather. I want a fine 100% leather maybe even buffalo leather.

Two questions... Is that possible? Who is the best leather person?

I'd look into Xian Leather. His work is as nice as it gets in my opinion. He did my seat pan and bib on my old Xbones. I plan on having him do a new seat for my Breakout I bought yesterday.

Sorry for the misinformation. I had no idea. That really bums me out to hear that. His work is amazing.
