I've Never Seen This Before

It is cool , the saddle and holster combo, open carry, is legal in calif, I used to do just that! just don't have any bullets in or near that gun!!!! Overall, that is some very nice work, to me though, that seat is too big!!!!

I think that's what the outlaw bikers are sporting these days.

I've never seen a real outlaw biker carry a gun openly, since many are convicted felons and would be arrested for it, most of them prefer concealed carry, although I'm sure they would certainly like this.

I saw that a few weeks ago, nice work. Don't think that you could carry like that in most states although....

Open carry is legal in most states, it's when you start hiding your guns that they want you to start getting permits. Probably wouldn't be too wise to get very far away from your bike when there's a real pistol in the holster if you wanted to keep your pistol, though.

It is very cool, I am very new to leatherworking and find this forum very informative!!! But did anyone else notice the leather on the exhaust pipes? How does that not get so dried out that it cracks and falls apart?

Never crank or ride the bike.Judging from what I can see of this bike, it's a show bike and probably never gets ridden much at all. Probably is only ran enough to make sure it will actually start. This is a bike for someone who doesn't actually have to be worried about riding very far, if at all.However there is some dicoloration on that pipe wrap, so I'm guessing it's been ridden a little bit at least, probably colored fiberglass pipe wrap, not leather.
