I know this isn't about a Max but my best friend recently had a pretty serious brake malfunction in his ducati where his front brakes locked up due to some debris in his lines and his bike went down and he skid across the road and through an intersection. So now his really nice Arai helmet and the leather jacket given to him by a close friends father, are all chewed up. Seeing as how my father and I own a custom leather business I figured I would steal his jacket and the ducati patches he had been wanting to put on it and repair the hole and paper thin leather on the shoulder where he slid with some 5-6oz oiled armor and replace the snap, then stitch on the patches in the places he had shown me he was planning to put them in a sketch (he's a graphic designer so he plans things out with paper)
I kind of went with a road warrior look on the shoulder armor and did the patches cleanly. Everything was sewn on a saddle machine so I don't think even another spill will take these off now. What do you guys think?

Sorry I didn't take before photos, but the shoulder was pretty chewed up with a hole about the size of a silver dollar and paper thin all around it from road rash. The leather I used is oiled and a little stiff right now but it'll break in this summer with him wearing it on rides and around town.
