BillB Report post Posted February 7, 2011 JohnJ, You might want to consider posting this under the "Critique My Work" forum or the "How do I do That" forum. SInce it is here, here are my comments: Do you plan to use this for a storage bag at you house or on trips? Are you riding 2 Up? I road an FLTRI with bags and box and there is not a lot of storage on long trips. If I were making a bag for a removable wind shield and I planned to take it on trips for those times I wanted to ride without the wind shield, I would make it out of light leather so it could be rolled up into a small package for storage on the bike when not in use. And even then I would have to consider using something like soft buckskin so that the flesh side of the leather does not scuff or scratch the wind shield. Do you plan to line the case with a soft cloth to protect the windshield from scuffing and scratching? Just some things to think about. BillB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
