Hello all,

I was in search of a swingarm bag for my Softail Deluxe. I didn't find anything that really appealed to me so I thought I would try my hand at making one. The bag has its warts but overall I am very happy with the results. I researched and learned quite a bit from the users of this forum. 

I started with a posterboard template to get the sizing I wanted, thought about the colors I wanted, ordered a few tools, dye and some red thread, and went to town. Everything is glued and hand stitched.

That looks really good, some of the best stuff happens when you have an idea and work it through the process. I like the colors also. When I first saw it on the bike I thought it didn't really go well but it grows on you. Nice work and thanks for posting the Picts of it on the bike.
