Re:
OK so my wrist RSI has reared it's ugly head so off the bike for a week and light garage duties only, so inspired by Susie on "The Repair Shop" decided I would restore the saddle myself..so before it looked like this (after a damn good clean)
The stars looked a little grey and the white was wearing away at the edges of the saddle. So bought some white leather touch up paint and these are the results thus far
May need a few more coats before I'm happy (it goes on really thin) and some sort of leather protector.

Ah god, there's a company I've used that sells lots of leather restoring stuff. Binding agents, paints in all colours, cleaners and nourishing creams etc.
They're up Newcastle way, I'm sure. Can't get the name in my head. Their stuff would be ideal for saddle work on this 'ere site.
