We were buying leather a couple of weeks back and returned to French's leather in Jl. Sahadewa (Garlic Lane) in Legian. I asked the exact same questions as I'm a full-time rider (no car) and was concerned at the quality. There are some impressive customer photos on the wall, though. Ivan (that's his real name)told me they use quite thick leather for this and will insert armour if I supply it.
I'll probably do just that next time around. As an aside, Ivan did another first-rate job with Aitch's two jackets and delivered them to the Dynasty free of charge.
Just my two bob.
