Finished all the sewing. I stuffed it with some small pillows to see how big it will be when loaded up.



I added and extra strap over the top that attaches to the bottom of the bag for extra support when the bag is loaded up.

i love this bike, there was a bike with a similar paintjob at the dealership when I picked up my bike, think it was a slim s also, but i'm not 100% sure

I definitely agree about those ******* signals, that would look sweet!

Thanks. I'm going to be making a new tank bag next....that way all the fabric is the same shade of green. I have been thinking bout making a "gun scabbard" as well for the front fork too, as it would give me a place to store my flag when I do a patriot guard ride.
