I am in Europe, quite far away from you.

But in the neighbouring village there is a company, a small 1 person company, that may be doing, I think, what you are looking for.

The guy started as a saddle and harness maker, for horses that is, but nowadays there is not so much demand for that anymore.

So, he started to make saddles and bags for motorcycles in leather. He makes anything you want in color or shape or texture, you name it.
Take a look over here: https://www.jvs-leather.com/realisaties

Off course I would not suggest you to come over, no, but I expect in the US there must be plenty of similar companies. Maybe this may help you.

But you wouldn't say no, either? Laughing emoticon It would make an awfully nice pretext to visit, no? Anyway, looks like some nice work!

I had a shopping list ready when I came to visit friends near Munich, Landsberg and S.I.P. was just a day trip away.

+1 on Cheeky Seats in the U.S. Awesome work and great customer service.

I'll second or third recommend for Cheeky Seats, super high quality and tons of fabric / pattern options. Next time you have 3 spare hours surf their web site.

Also a big fan of Cheeky Seats, Susie has made numerous covers for my various scooters over the years, and every one is a work of art. Check out their enormous array of options.

'cheeky seats" would be my first place to look, and likely the last place one would need to look.

I just got my Cheeky Seat cover in the mail today for my GTS. I got the premium black one to cover my stock tan seat. Outstanding quality and their customer service is exceptional. After I ordered it, Suzy emailed me with a few options with thread colors that I did not know about.

It looks like these guys from Cheeky Seat do a great job, but I wanted to suggest that maybe there is local craftsmanship that can surprise you.

Understood. Not aware of any leatherworkers near me, but I can imagine a seat like you have picture would be $$$ both here and in Belgium. Mexico, OTOH has both talented workers and far cheaper prices, so if you're on a budget....
