MADMAX22 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Posted June 6, 2009 Well dont know how to edit the first post, wanted to change the title to windsheild bag finished but oh well. Anyways got her done, fingers are sore lol. I need a sewing machine. The mounting portion is a piece of aluminum that was cut bent and drilled to follow the contour of the windshield. I covered it with leather and included to strap guides I guess you could call them. This allowed the bag to retain the standard fork mounting setup but be attached to the windshield. The strap is a little long but allows for diversity in set up so he can mount it somewhere else if he decides to. Most of the black is vinegaroon. Had to touch up the black for the edges and where I tooled becuase there the vinee couldnt soak thru all the way. The inside lining came out a nice grey color so I chose to leave it as is. Made for a nice contrast between the dark black of the outside and the inside. Looks good in person. Enjoy. Was playing with camera so got alot of pics lol, Quote

Members azrider Posted June 12, 2009 Members Report Posted June 12, 2009 What type of leather did you use for the linning? It came out really nice, and the edge burnishing is awesome! Quote Drygulch Leatherworks- Baldwin City, Kansas www.drygulchleather.com
MADMAX22 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Thanks, the lining is that vegtan tooling calf, I think about 2/3oz. I vinegarooned it just like the outside stuff and ended up getting that grey color. Worked out pretty good for the finished product. I also oiled it, leather balm with atom wax, then a coat of sno seal. Incase your interested. Edited June 12, 2009 by MADMAX22 Quote
TomSwede Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah, it looks really really good! Basketweaving on black seem a bit uncommon but works very well. I really like the edges too, you got them well together at the sides. You're gonna sleep well after this one!!
