Large Tooled Fork Bag

Recommended Posts

I was asked to make a larger bag in dark saddle tan with a floral design here's my take on what I think would fit the bill. Customer was happy so I'm happy. Set up for Harley Wide Glide, 5.5 inch diameter.

Mato, I used a piece of PCV pipe as a forming buck, held it in place with a large hose clamp. It took me a few tries to remember to leave enough fold over to account for the thickness of the leather. Better to leave it big and trim after I have the end caps sewed in.

Fredo.

The straps that the latch bottom attaches to looks like it is glued not stitched?, is that correct.. Or can i not see the stitches?

VanDutch, sorry I didn't see this right away. No the straps are not glued down, at the very ends not visible in the pictures I stitched and rivited the straps to the body of the bag. They are lose from there up.
