1977: Recovering the seat

So I put all the gear on the bike that was missing (saddle bags etc) and after doing a lot of rewiring to get the lights etc working, got some keys cut so I could access the gas...I then moved onto the seat.  I hand sewed the seat.  Which I won't do next time.  And next time I will make sure the foam surface is smooth, and use more glue in more places...But it turned out pretty good.

Before - the main reason I decided to recover
