Motorcycle Tank Bib

Recommended Posts

Finally finished the tank bib & pocket for my girlfriends '06 Spirit 750. I was able to use the one I bought for my bike years ago as a template and simply adjusted the design for the differences in the bikes.

4 oz veg tan for everything, I did my first wet molding on the pocket. I probably could have made the flap longer to cover more but it does the job. The edges are round braided (first time doing that as well). The red for the dragon is a dye I found at a local art store called Neopaque. There is a layer of black felt glued/sewn to the bottom to protect the paint.

A lot of firsts in this piece and it came out as planned which was nice to have happen. :whatdoyouthink:

Looks great man, the dragon really stands out and definatly goes with the bike.

Agree the flap could be a little longer but oh well, still a great job.
