DIY - Cover your cracked/old/crap saddle

Great thread. Sorry to drag it up again, but has anyone tried this with a Rolls? Should I take off the original cover first and how do I go about working with the badges and the plate at the back of the saddle?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I did this on my tatty Rolls. I removed the old leather. Do it carefully or you'll remove some foam. The old rivets couldn't be replaced.

Instead of rivets I sourced some small brass bolts and nuts (m3 perhaps?). To fix the side badges back on, I removed any trace of the old rivet and soldered on a cut down section of thread from one of the brass bolts. I couldn't find the correct length brass / copper pop rivets and didn't want to use aluminium although it would have been easier.

Picked up some nice leather when I was in Marrakech. Turned out great.
