This guy's a close personal friend who's dad was killed in the line of duty at a working structure fire in Rhode Island while he was in college in Kentucky. He wanted his suspenders to commemorate that day and this is what we came up with. It's a Gamewell box with a banner above saying "LAST ALARM". These were pole-mounted alarm boxes that were placed out on the street for the general public to call for the fire department. They were numbered to identify their location. 4313 was the box his dad was called to the day he died. He ran out of air inside the burning building after being seperated from his crew and still managed to save 2 kids (1 at a time) that were trapped inside. He was found in the alley unconscious and later died. I was so proud to do this for his son. He's become one hell of a firefighter himself and I think he'll wear these for the remainder of his career. This is why I tool leather.

Now that's my kinda ride! I dig it. It's so cool to steal the glory of the 30k choppers with my little sporty chop that actually gets ridden and not just shown. I'm dure you get that same feeling with your ride. Thanks for the compliment.

Simply AMAZING!!!! I'm in awe of all your work.

Yeah, it's my daily ride. I've also got a standard glide that seldom sees a mile put on it and I'm starting on a CB750 chop next.

It's Tandy. I've haven't bought any W&C leather yet. This piece was a 7-8oz double shoulder and HUGE (like 24-25 sq ft) and the entire piece was perfect except for a brand. I cut out any brands as soon as I get the hides anyway. I'm collecting them for a coaster project. But so far I've been really lucky with TLF leather.

Yeah, I've been over there since the beginning I think. That bike has had several transformations in the last few years but it'll stay this way for a while I think. It's my favorite bike, by far!

He wanted it left natural so it could take on it's own unique look.

Yeah, I just joined recently and was going through my pics trying to find one that even came close to some of the stuff you guys do here.I appreciate all the compliments. This has been a really good bag. It's not lined but it's held it's shape very well, even after a rainy 500 mile trip to North Carolina last fall. It's funny, nobody but you guys even get the "GOT COW?" thing.

Yeah, she's got ape hangers on it now. We passed an exercise bike in the trash and she saw the handlebars sticking up from the pile. We turned around and took the whole bike just for the bars. I've got a picture somewhere of her throwing out the little biker wave to a dude riding in to a little party we were having last year and another of her little trike parked in a spot in line of about 60 other choppers at the party with the bars turned the same way as everyone else's scoot. I'll try to find em. She digs her trike.

I did this one for my daughter. Kinda rough, but I wanted it to look like a 3 year old's tricycle, not one of my motorcycle seats. If you have a good seat to start with, just remove the factory cover without destroying it and use it as a template. You'll have to disassemble it of course. Install it the same was it was attached before. If it's a metal seat pan, rivet it. If it's plastic or fiberglass, staple it. You can even cover the bottom in speaker cabinet carpet to finish up the bottom nicely. I'm starting on a seat today for a friend's son. He saved up his money and bought a way cool OLD schwinn sting ray and wants the seat done in leather. I try to get some pics throughout the process for you. Cha-Chi
