Fixing leather require a level of mystery and spell casting I could never master (or understand).  However....  call the service department of a local car dealership.  Higher end dealership the better.  Odds are they'll have a conjurer who can perform this magic as it's much nicer to sometimes be able to repair a small bit of damage than to replace an expensive seat cover.

Try Twolane's advice, I have a cousin who can barely write his name but he repairs leather and vinyl for used/new car dealers and is so busy he can pick & choose when he works. I have watched him, it is an art.

Thanks for the replies. I had never thought of the people that fix the car seats for dealers

Looked like a tear due to the material failed. I had a swat that did the same and Harley replaced it.

Looks like some of HD's Pleather which seams to do that over time, seen it lots of times on older baggers with stock seats.
