Single Saddlebag

[Ian]

Dropped this one off today - basketweave courtesy of Bruce's excellent tutorial

Those are slick!

The finish looks great and by telling from the the glare on the top flap you got some really nice edges there.

I think edges are troublesome.

I like the way the basketpieces are sewn on. That tutorial seem to work fine.

That is one slick looking bag. I like the BW part too, especially continued down the billet.

How is goint to be attached?

[Ian]

Thanks Tom and Dave,

Tom, I love good edges - a bit of my harness making history. Even a plain old strap looks like a finished product with a good edge on it.

Dave, The bag is attached to the frame with 2 straps on top and one on the bottom (PS, how's your set af bags coming? - you KNOW I'll be expecting pictures)

[rdb]

Geez...pushy, pushy...lol . Well, I've got the pattern worked out. Going to probably start cutting over the weekend. She wants rubber back, or something like that. I've got samples coming in the mail, after that it's sewing time.

Nevermind me! That bag deserves a lot more attention..shape is cool, bw is looking good, and the color is exactly the brown I like.

When's your saddlebag tutorial coming on line. There's a few eyeballs, I'm sure, that would love to see that!

Great looking bag Tan, and the color is real nice. I'm waiting patiently also for the tutorial as well.

Thanks Ken, I did take pictures as I was building this bag, but the construction isn't that unique (as was yours for the vest - incredible, BTW). I'll throw them up for better or worse when I get home later on this evening.

Thanks and don't hesitate to put your tutorial in the show off section.....The powers that be will eventually move it to the motorcycle forum after everyone is finish pouring over it.

Thanks again for posting. Very nice work

Thanks Dave, I put it up last week. BTW, if I haven't said so yet, I'm floored by your beautiful work. The dye, the braiding, everything is perfect.

Thanks zman - check out the bike it's on - built by Rich Pitoniak of Pitoniak's Custom Cycle - I do all his leather, seats, etc. It sure makes me happy to see my stuff on beautiful machines
