December Bike of The Month
Snow Leopard V-Rod Muscle
This months feature is a great project from a treasured customer of ours in Thailand. Paal contacted us to do a sleek seat to match the custom paint job of the motorcycle. We emailed different leather options and colors to insure that the tones of white would blend flawlessly with his paint. The custom seat was a perfect top off to his "Snow Leopard" V-Rod. The seat is a Custom Low Profile Passenger Friendly Seat with black italian leather through the center and white italian leather along the outer edges. Check out the incredible photos and below is all the technical information about The Snow Leopard.
To our friend in Thailand - Paal, Thank you for bring us in on this and we enjoyed being a part of this project!
