Contributing Member rdb Posted July 16, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted July 16, 2009 Had to make a quicky bag for a bro, today. Spent about 4-5 hrs, so far. I need the bike to figure out how to strap it on, so that parts not done. It's meant to actually strap to the swingarm, not the tin. But for a fast one, this turned out okay. Well, at least it will hold stuff for his trip. Front and back are 8-9 oz veg tan, sides are 4-5 oz ( collapsible was the operative word...maybe). Dyed with saddle tan mixed with Neatsfoot, and a quick brushover with walnut/neatsfoot. Sno Proof top coat. I wish I could of put more time into making it better, but he needs it... Thanx for looking... -Dave Quote Web page Facebook

Thanx for looking... -Dave cool job, especially liked the tip of your Tennis shoes in most picture....HiHiHi... OK, ther bag is great for a quick job, these kind of bags are "hip" right now...I got tons of people need one of them !! Ur flaps would be better as a whole part of the sides, keeps seems out of weather and does not wear out to fast...sides out of lighter material is Ok if it keeps somewhat the original shape....u have some folds in there...but no biggie...I like the outer front stitched to the sides better when lay top over top, urs is inside to inside...top over top seems more clean look and gives more ( better shape, form, cleaner look...) All in all this is a great side bag!!!! well done!! I have been doing many bags for all kind of scooters...u done a bro a heck of a favor!!!
