What did you do about adhering the badge to the leather as far as adhesive goes? Do you know what weight leather the saddle maker used? 3oz? or thicker?
Did they glue the leather to the aluminum side covers? The stitching looks decorative unless you punched holes through the aluminum to sew the backing piece to
My worry is that rain and sun will kill real leather that hasn't been treated with wax and UV inhibitors in short order, but I may not know what I'm talking about. I do make stuff out of leather and could theoretically wrap my covers like this. I'm almost more tempted to sew leather covers onto the bike without removing them, but then the emblems would show through the back.
