Members Spinner Posted August 22, 2011 Members Report Posted August 22, 2011 Here are the most recent projects to leave the shop this month bound for client's bikes: Bib, bag and water bottle holder set for 2010 Honda VT1300CT: Next up whaletail bib for a 2008 Honda VTX1300C: Then a whaletail bib with removable pocket for a 2004 Honda VTX1300R. I also made a belt clip for the pocket using the same twist lock system so the owner doesn't need to unload the pocket when he leaves the bike. Simply twist off the bike, twist onto the belt and go. And last piece(s) is a set of leather wrapped side covers with pockets mounted into them. Here is a series of pics from untouched, factory covers through completed. The flaps open to functional pockets and inside the right side cover, the back of the pocket as a zipper installed so the client can run battery tender wires to plug the bike into a trickle charger without having to take anything apart to access the battery.

Members Spinner Posted August 23, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) nice job! really well done. that whaletail bib looks like a piece of clothing for the bike. Thanks Ramrod! Funny, leatheroo said they look like bike vests on the last ones I posted. Great minds, eh? Received a couple of pictures today of the side covers installed on the clients bike that I thought I'd share. They definitely fit the theme! Edited August 23, 2011 by Spinner Quote

Very cool! Thanks benlilly, that's not the half of it...literally. I have 3 more bibs on the bench and another reviewing his invoice now. It's been a busy month for sure! Quote

Members Spinner Posted August 24, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 24, 2011 Got pics back of one of the bibs today, I love how they look against the red gas tanks just makes the lines pop! This whaletail bib is shown on a 2008 VTX1300C: Quote
