Mike: In case it matters (e.g., in case you intended to reply to something else), please note that the original post is dated 2014. I believe that Cotten may have recently updated the thread to not list more disappointments and/or name someone he said isn't here. I'm all for updating threads, including for accuracy, new information, and posterity generally, especially if not much can be done as to the search functionality. Sent you a PM regarding the library.

Hi,
I'm John Longo and I've been working on motorcycle seats for 38 years. So far, I have centerfolded 321 Bike magazines. I made the seat on the motorcycle that won the Iron Butt race from Seattle to Miami. I work with all American made materials such as leather, naugahyde, gator, and reptile. You name it, I can get it.
No compromises. No computer generated designs, everything is handmade. Our services provide height adjustments, comfort techniques, pitch and angle modifications. Hand laid Fiberglass Seat Pans, custom stitch work, fitted laced leather, fringe and studded seats. I also do restoration of antique seats using original latex foam rubber.
I can make anything you can think of.
On this site, you can see photos of some of my work. I know that you'll be impressed. Call me. Come see me. You'll be glad you did. My address?
John Longo Motorcycle Seats
315C Howard Avenue
Rockville, MD 20850
USA
Telephone: (301) 762-4373
My Mobile Service is available for hire by the day. If you line up several seats at your shop, I'll come to your location and do the work on-site. For Mail Order, just send me your seat and a picture of your bike and I'll make a seat that gives you a unique look. Don't let your seat kill all your hard work on your bike. Get it done right by John Longo. As I like to say, "Put your ass on some class".
Sincerely,
John Longo

He was "difficult" even back then, Ryan,..
The cost was obscene, but I sure as hell ain't sending it back to him!

Wow, I really do not know what to say. Thank goodness I am involved in making horse harness, if it holds up on a horse pulling a plow, it should hold up to fat man on a Harley.
I would get in touch with the man or let his name out so we can beware.

But I pulled this seat off the wall to discover the skirt is already disintegrating.
The worst part is I didn't want the skirt, but he insisted!

My first wife was skitzy, Folks,...
(May she rest finally in peace..)
It is indeed a tragic loss that society abandons so many with exceptional talents, out of lack of understanding and patience.
I still cannot look at my Royalite without cringing. That fellow is too sane for me.

My nephew was Institutionalized being diagnosed severe Bi-Polar and after time, they let him out homeless on the streets(can only stay so long and they need the bed. Had to rescue him and what a mess. He had no clue on who he was or where he was. He's better now taking his cocktail and I would like to think that I saved his life that night he called me when they released him.

I was very happy with Chuck n Jo at the Saddleshop for my 1/2 pan Messinger 3. However, It did take weeks later than they estimated.
