Nice tan contrast against the black! That'll work.

I like it. How did you attach the tool bags to the sidecovers?

I bought a set of new side covers through ebay ($150 for the set). I had a couple of holes drilled through them to attach tool bags with a couple screws, washers, and a locking nut in the inside. I did same thing with seat, bought an extra seat and had it done in Italian leather. I can get back to stock in 10 minutes if I want to.

I like the contrast of the tan and black. Who did the work and what was the cost?

I'll bet it wasn't cheap.

The seat& backrests were done by a local shop in Fraser Michigan. It is called MC Seating. cost $750.00. Notice he made nice pouches in both rider and passanger backrests. I also paid $100 for the seat core, so total cost to me was $ 850.00.
Tool bags on side covers with initials were made in New Mexico by a guy who has a shop called Chain Link Leather . Cost $100 per bag. Roll made by same NM guy cost $180.00. So total cost was $400 including shipping. He did a beautiful job as far as quality and workmenship. So did the MC seating. Now I know my seat and bags are made in USA. They are superb quality worth every bit of the money I paid and will last a life time I am sure.
