Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 1, 2011 Members Report Posted October 1, 2011 A tool bag on a Honda? Wouldn't that be like tits on a boar hog? I could see it on a Harley, but on a Honda? Maybe she can use it for the registration paperwork. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members Spinner Posted October 1, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks McJeep & tatehunt! A tool bag on a Honda? Wouldn't that be like tits on a boar hog? I could see it on a Harley, but on a Honda? Maybe she can use it for the registration paperwork. Very true, not often a Honda breaks down, at least mine anyway. That's just the name everyone knows them by, but she wanted it for her wallet, cell phone & house keys (and registration). Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com
Members GoldenKnight Posted May 10, 2012 Members Report Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks McJeep & tatehunt! Very true, not often a Honda breaks down, at least mine anyway. That's just the name everyone knows them by, but she wanted it for her wallet, cell phone & house keys (and registration). -------------- Pros: 1. Looks amazing! I'm a huge fan of the colors & textures. Very classy. 2. Has quality appearance and is not typical of scooter bar/tool bags. 3. Wish I was up to your skill level. Con: (The only one) As a motorcycle owner/rider, the only thing I noticed that I would prefer is for the guesses to be higher & fold over the top of the opening (under the flap) to help keep out weather and/or dust & dirt to protect the contents inside - especially since the bag is on the front & will be the first in contact with weather & wind. That's the only thing I'd change if it was me. Nothing more. That would be in my specs as a customer and very easy to even add on by stitching a 3" flap on each side if wanted after production. Again, very nice & very cool choice with colors & textures. And Honda motorcycles - bullet-proof. [Honda VTX 1300 Retro dressed]. Of all the Harleys made, 80% are still out on the road ... because only 20% ever made it back home. (just a joke between me & my HD buddies I ride with) Quote No dead ends -- only detours.

Thanks for the comments! Actually if you look closely at the third picture I did include this in the design only in a more weather-resistant style. The gussets were made to be the same shape as the inside curve of the flap when closed and fit inside the lacing when the flap is down. Being 6oz thick and inverted on a curved profile, they don't bend or move and very little can get it at all. If I had done flaps instead, combined with the fact that it sits at a slight upward angle on the bars, the flaps would have provided less protection and actually could have created a wind tunnel effect. I like the traditional designs but sometimes they aren't the best solution. Cheers, Chris Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com

I could blame it on the fact that I viewed the photo on my phone, the background doesn't contrast enough with the subject, or the fact that I'm used to seeing gawking/huge weather flaps on typical motorcycle products. The fact is that this feature was done with such skill & integrated so well into the design that it was not a focal point. I withdraw my previous 'Con' and add an additional 'Pro' for incorporating the functioning weather flap feature in an astethically pleasing manner of purposeful design. ... Excellent work, Chris.
