*all 7 stages of grief involved* But it's worth it.

Disclaimer. I am not writing a review due to installation issues. It's unfair to consider a review knowing that I (the buyer)! must install the goods and then charge Loncky. Yes, that means wallpapering, fitting, sewing etc. Took me over 6 hours over the weekend so expect long hours. Now Review: Pros - Good leather material, lots of threads and ribbons, quick delivery, excellent packaging, nice thanks in the box, nice handy yellow tool. Cons - Instructions not clear, Leather edging is VERY thin, Not enough material to hide behind the handlebars Tips: You have to be patient. If you don't do it for a living, it will take time. Tape, tape, tape, don't be shy, it's your best friend. Youtube search, "Loncky steering wheel". Yes, they have installation instruction videos, much better than the paper ones. You would think they would tell you that. BE VERY careful when installing a wheel cover. The thin edge is brittle and breaks easily. I used tape on the back to solve this problem. Once on the wheel and tape in place, let it sit for a while, allow the cover - since it's leather - to stretch and shape. When you're ready to sew, match and fold ALL the edges so they appear centered. Make these stitches YOU. And use a handy lighter to melt the ends. As you sew, use your hands to shape the cover and make sure it fits snugly. Loosen and sew again if necessary. There are many threads, so don't worry. When you're done, apply a dab of superglue to the small edges and press with a plastic tool to tuck it away. I want them to have more options so they can be properly hidden. Phew, and after hours and frustration, voila, you have a leather steering wheel.
