Where abouts are you located.

There is a very good woman that goes to tsunami motorcycles in Mitcham, south west London. She is based in Sheffield though I think so probably visits other stores around the country

I think you'll have to resign yourself to having to travel

These are who I was talking about  http://www.leather-workshop.co.uk/index.php

Hideout leathers also have a good reputation

Price will depend on the type of repair too, whether you want it just patched up, or if you want the whole panel removed and replaced so it looks seamless and new again

Use enough leather so you can triple stitch it, and the threads aren't on the contact patch.
