Special Guests: Wayne Hagler, owner of Heather’s Leathers

 

When looking at the styling of any motorcycle, new or old, your eyes are usually drawn to several things: the power plant and driveline, the paintwork, and the plating work. But, one of the most important aesthetic factors in the style of a motorcycle is the leatherwork; both on the seat, and the accessories to the machine such as luggage or leather wrapped control surfaces. In terms of restoring an old machine, the quality of the leatherwork plays a huge role in the comfort, aesthetics, correctness, and overall value. And, let’s face it: it can be hard to restore or replicate leather goods from motorcycles that date far back into two-wheeled history. This week, we are joined by the owner of one of the leading leather businesses in the motorcycle industry: Mr. Wayne Hagler of Heather’s Leathers. Wayne’s South Carolina-based leather company specializes in quality products for all types and years of motorcycles, though Heather’s Leathers has become known as giant resource for antique motorcycle enthusiasts.
