Fredo Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fredo Report post 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.

VanDutch Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fredo Report post Posted June 20, 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? 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
