TomSwede Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah, know what you mean with them screws. Just got purselocks to use for ladys purse and they also have that problem with prong holes and as a lock for a purse I think it really sucks.

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted April 20, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted April 20, 2008 rdb, great looking bags you made, the color will look real good beside that Corbin seat. Maybe talk her into redoing the seat some day as well. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
Members Sawyer Posted April 21, 2008 Members Report Posted April 21, 2008 bags look great!my wife has a Dyna and i'd like to make her a set of new bags. Where did you get the pattern? I also need a pattern for a Softatil for saddle bags as well. Keep up the good work. Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted April 21, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 21, 2008 Thanx Sawyer. Like I said, no real pattern. I measured 14" across, matched the angle to the shocks, and measured the height I had to the muffler. Just make a Parallelogram with 14" top and bottom, and 18" sides. The sides I cut 6"or so, and 50" long (couple inches extra so as not to run out of gusset Thanx Ian!). The hard part was shaping the top flap, but you can work it out with paper, after the body of the bag is assembled. In order to use the Easy Brackets on a Dyna, , you will also have to purchase a relocation kit for the turn signals. You need the hole where the blinkers are positioned, so you have to move them back to the license plate. Dave at Easy Brackets is good to talk to, when you need advice. Quote Web page Facebook
Contributing Member rdb Posted April 22, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 22, 2008 Well, here's the full set, tool bag, tail bag, and saddlebags. I still have some polishing up to do, and rivet the corners, but that's about it. Wish I could do it all over again.... Quote Web page Facebook
Contributing Member rdb Posted April 28, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 28, 2008 Customer came and picked 'em up. She told me that she searched everywhere for this kind of bag, from shops to Mfgs, with no luck. So, when she heard some guy made leather stuff, she tried one more time with me. She calls it "All tanned out", and that's what she wanted. The easy brackets were okay to work with, but the light relocation was a pain. For the money they charge, a couple extra washers, and a few wiring extras wouldn't break the bank. I'm gonna write them. Anyways, here's the final pix of the bags on the bike..her hubby's driving.... Quote Web page Facebook
