This looks like a must do, waiting for the photos!

 

Okay so I got it on tonight. finished it up in the dark. so I may re-tie the knot tomorrow morning. It looks a little uneven but it is mainly just the flash. it looks pretty awesome in person. I've put a few of these on.. I'm no pro so you might find a flaw or two.[IMG][/IMG]

 

wow, glad to see that your ride did not suffer spontaneous combustion, with low fuel and all.
looks great..

 

well It has full tank but I went ahead and took the pic with the ignition off.. I figured I probably overfilled it! that would just be embarrassing

 

okay so here a few install tips I found to be helpful, mostly learned after I failed to do them and would have made it all much easier to install. for one when you first start the cord through, pull it half way that way you can work both directions as you stitch it up. this is good for a couple reasons, one your not pulling 6' of cord through every stitch, and two you can end anywhere you want by moving both directions till your happy with the meeting point. also the knot you tie off with. is much easier to hide behind one of the horn button spokes rather in the middle of the wheel. I also think that an "in-out" pattern looks a lot nicer than the "whip-stitch" looping pattern they recommend. all in all it came out very nice and feels awesome. I wish it covered the spokes a little better but it doesn't look bad. Most would think it was factory.

 

That looks great. I think I will be doing mine soon... What size did you end up with? Does it fit well? It looks like it does...

 

I wonder if I could talk them into leaving a little extra leather on so i could cut it to fit the spokes myself... How willing are they to customize your order? It looks AWESOME... I hate these forums, I get so much Disco envy it's ridiculous.

 

It's a Fantastic alternative to the Walmart/Autozone versions. It does look factory, with the exception of the spoke ends. As Captain mentioned, maybe they can leave a tiny bit extra material for that in the future. As an option, I wonder if there is something you can wrap around that area to tie it in somehow? Some of the Tie Material maybe?I think they have a pill for that now...

 

If anything I would just call them and ask if you could carefully remove the original and send it to them to duplicate... they are easy to talk to, just call.
This one fits perfectly tight. feels better than factory. granted my factory one had 170k on it. I believe I got a 15 5/8. I'm very happy with it.

 

Anyone thinking about doing this, take note of this email I got back from wheelskins:

Jason,

We can’t alter the design. We made them all the same just with different measurements. Our cover can’t go up the spoke! What some customers have done is ask for some scrap leather to match and then they line the spike with the leather then install the Wheelskins!
