I recently "shaved" some foam out of one of these beasties and added 2" neoprene lumbar to the monster (short rider 4'something tall) although the pan was fiberglass. From the looks of it you will have a heck of a time with the curvature of the main seat the buttons are there for a reason they actually pull the cover to the contour. also you are faced with the fact the seat is a very soft pad of sponge on top of the actual medium density foam.. I would take the covers off one at a time and pattern from them, coloration and carving should be easy compared to the actual making of the cover. the buttons pose a special little problem as they are a necessary evil...no easy way out here sorry.... on the plus side the passenger and main seat are two separate covers so it is doable....

PM request sent Thanks in advance!

Its been a long time that I've posted here! I have made a few or I should say a lot of my own tools and since the last time I posted I have taken another bad habit/hobby knife making its funny how one hobby led me to another and they tie so well together...I use 5160 spring steel, and have made a couple of head knives out of what I am pretty sure is L6 saw mill end cut blades if they aren't L6 then my money is on 15N20...they have heat treated and tempered very nicely and hold a razor edge...12-14oz saddle skirting is like soft butter to my most used one!

Thanks for the replies. Chief j you are correct my holster and gun your opinion is appreciated in any case.

Here is an iwb I did for a fairly large 45 sorry for the bad pix..

ok first of all PINK is not just "ok" it rocks hello!!!! Save the tatas!!!!! the only crit I have is more a question what gun choice did "momma" make Taurus? caliber? 380? any way you gotta go full blown carved up BBQ rig for both!! and please do tell us which dye you used ( nevermind seen it!) and what the sucess was! I will in the future have to do one for my wifey!

to all is what I wanted to say!!

thanks for the kind words!

Ok so here is another sheath, this one's for my Dad....The knife is older than me (freaking old)

More about the leather?? The blade is toothpick style the handle is antler it's a nice piece to look at sharp and pointy LOL.

No the knife was made by a custom Smith who doesn't do leather ....

you could always go back and add flapps by lacing them in ...just a suggestion to that lil over sight..

Thank you for the kind words!

Another sheath bad pix sorry.. ...

nice roll I like it all around, tooling, color and minimal lacing..fact of the matter its a gift for your brother that says it all he will love it nothing like a hand made gift specially for your scooter...

alot do tie em down just depends on placement and type of chop or bobber ....google image search!

please dont take my observations as a negative crit! no such animal as any critique can open eyes and as far as just for show well to me thats... well just for show LOL make it out of heavy oiled black leather lace it up with some red roo in a mex round braid use brass hard ware and call it done!! maybe some diamond shaped holes or spade shaped holes? or black on black tooled up biker style make it serve a purpose though not just for show! even a "bra" serves a purpose!

Is this going to be a "tiedown " IMHO less is more ..plus what is placement of battery on bike? Road salts and the such will eat that hide ...a loose battery at speed could be less than happy ...

These look to be IWB? If so you've got the operator drawing across his own body? IMHO not safe practice ..have I made any like this "guilty "yes (only one)I have for a very experienced operator just an observation

Thanks the lace is hand cut goatskin the type is Mexican round

Any other advice here?!!!

I just carved what I drew then took my time in the tooling...thanks for all the kind words!

Always a pleasure to here from you Mike.

My guts are my business!! LOL!! Naw they're plain ol simple guts. Nothing you haven't already seen!
