Looks good, but I'd suggest holding off dying it all for a bit. See if it might grow on you first. I'd suggest at least keeping the green and red.

I was thinking the same thing but was hesitant to say anything. Now that you've brought it up I think the best thing to do in this case is to send the bib back to Shaun. It's not like it would be expensive shipping or anything and Shaun knows a heck of a lot more than his customers about leather.

That's my humble opinion anyway ...

Shaun was going to send me the dye and tell me how to do it. I asked him to so it would be quicker. I just emailed him and told him to forget about it. I like the attention the color draws.

Looks good. You got the Ness mirrors? I am 6' tall and can see out of them fine. It just takes a while to get them adjusted. Sure look sharp.

Nice mods, expecially the swingarm bag. I'd like to get one for my Softail Custom. Looks like it might touch the ground when cornering. Is this is problem?

Those swingarm bags look like they will scrape easy, but you have to lean enough to scrape pegs to get into the bag. If your ride is lowered it could scrape earlier.

Really nice leather work... 1 question.... is the bib on backwards..seems like it would read from the rear instead of forwards.?

I haven't had mine hit yet and I can get aggressive in the turns. My bike isn't lowered yet either though. I'm only going to lower it an inch anyway so I still don't think it'll be a problem.

I watched my buddy put my bag into the corns over the weekend on my bike rather hard and no scrapes yet .. it takes more of a lean than a lot of people think ... and just an FYI my bike is slammed and I mean almost bump stops and still no dragging ... I might have just cursed my self though ..
