Latest Motorcycle Tank Bib

Recommended Posts

Here's the latest tank bib to come off the bench. This one was for a 2006 Honda Shadow Aero 750. The client is a Chief Petty Officer so we altered the original Billy Tucci artwork to include the USN and 1893 (on the anchor cross beam) and the arm patch detail to be all official CPO. We were also going to add the CPO cover (hat for us landlubbers) but it didn't look right so she kept the standard issue cover. W&C 6oz. leather, kangaroo triple loop lacing and felt backing to protect the paint. The bottom of the bib is wet formed to the tank and wraps underneath to secure with velcro on the bottom of the tank. Color was done with Golden Arcylic Fluid paints. 22 out of the bottle colors and 13 custom mixed colors.

Spinner,

You will soon have to change your name away from "woodspinning" to something with leather. Very nice looking job...

Regards,

Ben
