good job man.
i have some experience working leather so i have some idea of what is involved and the doubts along the way.
tandy is a good place for leather and hardware, also used another company i was happy with (quality and price) if i find the old order books ill pass the name along.
saddle bags next ?

RIP - Fantastic GRACE Additions!!
Your leather work looks great and definitely adds the custom touches to your sweet ride!
I'm in the middle of my Bagger transformation. I have been trying to find a console pouch, now that I removed my CB/Intercom plate. If you are interested in some more leather work I would email details.

I have some more ideas also. Glad to see others dabbling in a dying art.

That bag looks good, and you make it all sound so easy. Maybe when I transfer back to the mainland I'll see what I have available to me. How easy was stamping out the tank bib? I think if I did give it a try I'd start with something like that first. I'm not artistic, but I'm sure I could trace something off a photo.

Working the leather is fun. The more you do it, the more you'll get the feel for the leather. I'm not an expert, but I learn fast and I'm not afraid to try anything. The bag was expensive though, just for materials. I did it because there is a guy that wants me to make him a bag, but needed to know I could. I considered it an investment.
