Members Fredo Posted June 5, 2014 Members Report Posted June 5, 2014 I was asked to make a larger bag in dark saddle tan with a floral design here's my take on what I think would fit the bill. Customer was happy so I'm happy. Set up for Harley Wide Glide, 5.5 inch diameter. Quote
Members mato Posted June 9, 2014 Members Report Posted June 9, 2014 nice work can i ask how do you get the ends so round and keep the fold looking so neat Quote
Members Tinkerton Posted June 9, 2014 Members Report Posted June 9, 2014 Love it. What dye did you use? I'm really digging the colour. Quote
Members blkheart Posted June 10, 2014 Members Report Posted June 10, 2014 Where did you find the latches. They look fantastic !! Quote
Members earthling33 Posted June 11, 2014 Members Report Posted June 11, 2014 Nice job. It gives me some ideas for what I'd like to do. Quote
Members Fredo Posted June 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 12, 2014 nice work can i ask how do you get the ends so round and keep the fold looking so neat Mato, I used a piece of PCV pipe as a forming buck, held it in place with a large hose clamp. It took me a few tries to remember to leave enough fold over to account for the thickness of the leather. Better to leave it big and trim after I have the end caps sewed in. Quote
Members VanDutch Posted June 17, 2014 Members Report Posted June 17, 2014 Fredo. The straps that the latch bottom attaches to looks like it is glued not stitched?, is that correct.. Or can i not see the stitches? Quote

Or can i not see the stitches? VanDutch, sorry I didn't see this right away. No the straps are not glued down, at the very ends not visible in the pictures I stitched and rivited the straps to the body of the bag. They are lose from there up. Quote
