  1. Hey All, Pretty proud of what I was able to produce with very few tools on my first try, so thought I would show it off Also thing i did an OK job matching the Champagne coloured thiner bag leather, with the thick veg tan back piece (Eco-Flo Oil 3 parts wheat 1 part Saddle Tan). Coated the whole thing in 50% mink, 50% Beezwax in an effort to water proof it. And I changed out the Chrome buckle last minute to brass. Comments and feedback welcome.
  2. haha you guys are killing me I was actually thinking cement with an iron rod through the middle too. I have some left over cement lying around from an old opt making project that would be perfect. I think ill take a dive and star googling wet molding...
  3. Oh my! Thank you everyone so much for your in depth and thoughtful responses. That is such an intelligent way to go about it, and I cant believe i didn't read that part about how they do it! @mikesc I would never duplicate their product for resale. I only wanted to make one set for myself as they don't have the colour I need to match the rest of my bike. I dont think ill be learning to lathe any time soon, so I guess ill just have to live without them for now. Maybe, just maybe I could fill a standard rubber fork gaiter with plaster and cut the rubber from around it to give me a mold. Thanks all again, I really appreciate your help. Cheers, Simon
  4. Hey All, Anyone got any clue as to how in the world they have done this? https://www.baakmotocyclettes.com/en/home/161-leather-fork-gaiters-motorcycle.html And possibly more importantly if its possible for me to do by hand. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers, Simon
