here is a strap that has some kind of core,, it looks real nice. I would the fashion the carry strap so the nylon was in the actual connection to the camera,, in this example the core may be a pad,, but you get the idea! http://www.etsy.com/...search_type=all

Great work, I am in the market as I blew out my flip flops yesterday!

Thanks again Pete Its what I was hoping to hear!

well the last bike I built had a battery issue, that being the battery was housed in the interior of the oil tank and stood proud of the frame by near an inch. I could not lower the oil tank as it sat almost right upon the starter so here is what worked for me, I took regular card board, covered the areas I needed to mold then applied foil tape , the kind used in home insulation. I waxed the areas I covered with the foil tape and began to built a fiberglass seatpan on top of it, it worked very very well, and cost me next to nothing, it fit the bike like a glove, as it was cast directly on the bike and the problem area. I wrote an article on it and if you would like I can send it to you all the best Bo

Thanks Pete this is what I was hoping to hear!, I love quality and I know it has a price. what to you do while wearing them? Ranch, ride or /and everyday footwear?

Back in 1976 a buddy of mine ordered a custom made pair of Paul Bond Boots, I can't find many on the net who do this kind of work, Paul has a nice site , and I have not heard anything bad about the product that comes out of his shop. anyone have a personal exp.

Thanks all, here is what I did, and it worked well enough to get me out of the jam, I applied Denatured alcohol via a cotton rag and rubbed the stuffing out of it, then after all the alcohol flashed off, I thinned the dye with a little water and sprayed it with one of my airbrushes,, this morn I checked it and it looks better then ok , not great! , Thanks so much for the help!
