Harley Conversion??

Thinking of doing a Harley conversion with seats I found at a salvage yard. All four bucket seats and consoles for $200! It’s a good deal. Only catch is the seats are bent from a rollover, however the leather is in great condition. I’m going to put the leather over my seats. Anyone done this? Is it hard to pull that leather off and put it on another seat?? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

My interior is gray so im thinking the black and gray would look good. Could not do a King Ranch interior cause everything would need to match that brown color.

I did the swap in my 04. Bought a 08 hd cab that was in a rollover. The seats were fine so i just bolted them right in. I pulled the seat cover off of the old seat (just for fun) and re installed it, wasn't a big deal. They go on fairly easy.

I also swapped the carpet, door panels, and the trim pieces around the doors.

Was a few little hiccups going to the 08 style but nothing major. Now i'm on the hunt for a 05/07 hd dash to tie it all together!

Maybe a hair dryer to heat the area up. Might be able to stretch/work them out

Would like to see some pics of your swap
