Two front fork bags

[TimberWolf]

Two front fork bags I completed. First one is for a 12" wide glide Harley front end. The second one is for the narrow forks, as shown on my wife's Sportster. 10oz. latigo body/ 5-6 oz. gussets.

Really nice job, Tim! I especially like the basketweave job. A lot of folks think that stamping is a "no brainer" as opposed to carving, but there is a real touch needed to do a clean basketweave. You have the touch. Also, is the welt around the edge of the flap part of a lining, or is it a decorative touch?

Thanks, Mike! The flap trim is just an edge piping, or welt. I have a few different colors, depending on the bikes' paint. Alot of cycle accessories have that type of trim. Just looks a little cleaner than a raw edge.

very nice tim!

i like the little touches.

would you mind sharing the basic dims.

i have had a couple requests for round bags but have not taken the time to work out a pattern

Beeza, Thanks!...the wider bags are 12", narrow 10" gusset 4.5" If you have a specific model in mind, let me know. The slots for mounting to the forks vary, depending on the model, as HD has a few different fork dimensions.

I agree with beeza...clean basketweave like that is no small feat...well done. I didn't realize latigo leather would take tooling that well. Do you have a preferred source?

Yes Tim, very clean looking work. I like the piping around the outer rim as well, the added details are always a nice touch, and really help to make the work pop out.

Thanks for sgaring the pics.

I was about to ask what Grey asked.... did you oil it or wet it before tooling it? didnt think latigo would tool....
