Harley Tank Bib

Recommended Posts

I have never liked the standard faux leather tank bib that came with my harley, so i eventually made one for myself.

I have always liked tribal patterns, so I found a cool one (at least to me) on the interweb to use for this little project. Next job is a fender bib for the rear fender.

very nice bib, i like the design...did you put a lining on the back...when i have made these in the past i have glued a very soft piece of leather on the back that covers the lacing so that it doesnt scratch the tank.

cheers

Yes, i lined the back with felt to protect the paint underneath. I was a bit worried about the felt retaining water after rain and going mouldy, so I saturated the felt with scotch guard to give it some water repelling ability.
