original looking tank bib

Recommended Posts

At one time I owned motorcycles. I planned to make leather goodies for them. This is all I got around to before I lost the bikes. What do you think?

I like it..

Question, how do you get the bibs to stay in place.. I know that sounds crazy but I had not seen anything like these till I got my bike and I haven't seen any of them in person..

I inserted a thin aluminum piece between the leather up front. The was then bent to fold just under the lip of the gas tank. At the seat, their is a screw to hold the gas tank on. I put the leather under this screw. The gas cap also sits on top of the leather. I kept the leather a bit thinner here to allow the gas cap to fit snugly on top of the leather.

BTW, this is on a 2001 Honda Valkyrie.
