The double off latigo (also known as off side billet) on the right side of your saddle is just as important as your cinch and near side latigo. It should be checked for wear regularly but since it doesn’t get replaced very often you may run into a problem getting a new one attached.
To be safe, instead of threading it onto your off side saddle Dee and ending up with only a single piece of leather holding your saddle on it should be attached as shown in the guideline so the leather is doubled:
- Thread it onto the ring of your cinch buckle. Make sure the ends are even.
- Run the doubled ends through your saddle’s right Dee ring. Go from outside to inside.
- Bring the ends back through the cinch buckle ring and place the buckle tongue into the desired holes. Make certain when choosing the holes that the latigo has not slipped so the tongue goes through the same holes on each side of the fold.
- Tuck the ends through the keeper on your cinch so they’ll be out of your way.
The leather in each Dennis Moreland latigo is carefully chosen to be tight fibered and dense. This gives you a premium latigo that’s just the right thickness to be very strong but not leave a lump under your fender. Each is cut, edged and finished by hand.
