Do you have any large pictures? I remember you listing some, but the pics were tiny.

I'll be doing my touring all red, and was wondering if the leather remains soft after you've died it?

Not the same as a re trim but not bad...the leather is a bit hard to start with and the finish does wear off and needs a bit of touching up now and then but generally it is worth it over the cost of new leather

this is the best pic I have
