I am mounting a Cozy Euro on a green G-5.  Sidecar body and fender will be painted matching green with gold pinstriping.  I went to Tandy Leather and got a 4-oz cowhide in light to medium brown for $65.  It was reduced because of a brand which is no problem.  There is still over 45 sq ft of usable leather.  I plan to recover the bike seat (dual) and sidecar seat and armrests.  I am considering side panels in the sidecar by bonding fleece fabric to leather wigh spray contact cement.  the fabric will stop 1" from edge of leather panel.  This 1" will allow a strip if rubber magnetic tape all the way around the panel.  This will keep the panel in position, but removable for cleaning, etc.   GA-DK
