Harley-Davidson 'Fat Boy' Seat Retrim
Harry Pitcher • July 11, 2023
Our motorcycle seat retrims normally involve just a single section, sometimes maybe two, but this time we have three pieces to retrim. The customer requested a simple yet effective pattern to blend into the other pieces of the seat, plenty of red stitching was also asked to match the colour theme of the bike.
A quick discussion took place to decide on a design, and we came up with this pattern, which we are nicknaming 'Horizon'. A bold twin stitch was also placed along the side, leading into the second cushion to help further connect all three pieces.

As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.
