Re: Repro Lycett seat of execellent quality

Good old Neatsfoot oil,

Makes me think that maybe we should be looking at the horse world for a good saddler?

Re: Repro Lycett seat of execellent quality

On that subject and on recommendation from a friend I gave the saddle from my 1939 Autocycle to a proper horse saddler. I provided some material which he didn't use as, unbelievably he had some correct Rexene.....BRILIANT! 6-7 months later when I enquired about another saddle to be covered, I was informed that he'd had a heart attack and given up all together.....Bugger!

Not saddles but if anyone wants a dual seat or similar recovered I'd definitely recommend these people...Top quality work in my experience...Saddlecraft 01914556262....Ian

Re: Repro Lycett seat of execellent quality

Leighton's seem to do a nice job of duel seats too. Why is it such a struggle to get a nice saddle cover made? The cheap Indian covers are formed quite nicely, but they just fall apart at the drop of a hat.

These are the saddle covers made for my W/NG by the guy who is on his forth nervous breakdown. No one else will even attempt the hump on the pillion saddle.....All I hear is "Sorry our machines can't cope" Ron

Yes, I used Andy a long time back after being put onto him by someone who used to make fabricated parts for me... He used to make pannier bags and Y strap sets for me as well as saddle covers...Without doubt his saddle covers were the best I've ever had by a wide margin...It's such a shame he doesn't seem to be able to cope with the stresses of life....Ian
