The American motorcycle industry recently lost one of its icon’s with the passing of Bob Le Pera. Bob had a passion for making the finest handcrafted Harley seats his way-no excuses-and never strayed from the ideals that proved so rewarding to him. He always strived to do what was best for the industry and held the customers best interest as the foundation for his work. From the beginning Bob instilled his exemplary work ethics and attention to every last detail to his kids, Bob Jr. and Christine. Bob Jr. for the past 24 years and Christine for the past 20 years have worked side by side with Bob. As a family they have built what has become one of the most respected names in the industry.

Together Bob Jr. and Christine will continue to keep Bob’s passion, work ethic and dreams alive, preserving every bit of history that he started with his bare hands back in 1972.
