Ambassador leatheroo Posted September 21, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Here is a tank strap that i was asked to make for a customer who had a sterling silver feather that he wanted incorporated into the design. He wanted it framed and set down a bit. I used three layers of leather, roo lacing, black dye and the bronze is acrylic that i airbrushed on. The customer lives about 1000km away, so i only had his measurements and photos to use. It will sit under the tank console and the bottom will go under the seat. I hope the bronze is a good match.....i have just posted it and hope he will send me a pic when it is fitted. cheers caroline Edited September 21, 2010 by leatheroo Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot

Should look pretty nice on the HD. Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com

Members kurtalderson Posted September 28, 2010 Members Report Posted September 28, 2010 That is very nice! I'm getting rid of the thin plastic cover on my Tour Glide Classic at the first opportunity. The lacing really gives the piece a lot of class. In my case, it will give me way to fit the metal ridge on the tank. The original plastic molded piece fits over the ridges. It's been in place since 1987 and is getting cracked and shredded around the edges. Did you use any protective finish to keep water marks off? What kind of leather did you use? Quote
