"A project that lasted a long time, in which the client kept modifying this bike until finally it became an Indian Bobber Tribute.

A project in which he worked a lot of Custom workshops in Romania;

 We try as much as possible to be exactly on the client's requirements, sometimes we succeed, sometimes not, however for us the hardest thing in satisfying the client's requirements is finding the right color. It's all or nothing, conversations spread in dozens of messages, with trials, tests,, so that in the end the client is satisfied, if he is not, neither are we!

This saddle was one of those challenges, two types of leather of the same color, although in different tones, I want to believe that it came out well, to be honest beyond our expectations, please! be free to express your opinion.

The seams are looking better for this seat, it's because I approached a different tehnice and it seems that it's works well....we learn, each and every day!

On the sides for a better contrast we use real copper rivets, mounted with a dolly and pneumatic hammer as if we were merging two panels in the aerospace ,automotive industry....do that on leather.
