That wheel is awesome but cheap it is not 8O

I was thinking of buying some spray adhesive and some suede and seeing what happens but I need something less of a bus driver wheel I think (Standard leather one). winkeye

That's the wheel I've got but it's gone up in price from what I paid. Think mine was about £230 delivered.

I had wheel recovered in a previous (non BMW) ride and it was a lot cheaper from a saddler / leather worker than from auto trimmers (about half the cost iirc). Looked great. He did tell me it is a lot easier and cheaper if the foam is in good nick
