OneRedBear Report post Posted March 30, 2017 My buddy and I had an idea to make an over-sized swing arm bag (big enough to hold his leather jacket and a few other things). We came up with an idea and then I headed off to the garage to make one. I started with a rough template I made. Late into the project I noticed a piece of the leather damaged that ended up on the flap Because of the way the bag expands I need to figure out a better way to secure it to the bike. I tested it the other day and the fit is nice, but the flap still needs some polishing. I would love to hear your thoughts on addressing this issue.

Grumpymann Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Looking good. Not clear on what the problem with the flap is. I'm far from an expert but I may be able to help. So go slow( I'm not too bright) and set the problem out step by step ( See first brackets) and I may be able to help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodean Report post Posted March 30, 2017 If it's the area on the front of the flap that I am seeing as the damaged part/ I might would make another piece of leather with a design as a patch and sew it over the area. Make it look like a natural design. If I am seeing the problem right to begin with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpymann Report post Posted March 30, 2017 The Patch would work. I use patches as a perfect way to do initials for costumers who seem to be a bit... flakey about paying more than a modest deposit. Also a map pocket. Or even a accessory ring. (I put them on all my bags now a days ) it's a ring that you can clip anything to. Not sure how this would work but a chain for a helmet?
