Members gearsmithy Posted October 1, 2007 Author Members Report Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Thanks folks! Very nice, Gearsmithy! What model is it going to be mounted on?Tim Not sure, I think it's an old FLH. The strap is adjustable so it will fit pretty much anywhere. Edited October 1, 2007 by gearsmithy Quote
steveb Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 nice- i like the contrasty color combo myself. cant beat it, classic - and i love flames...mmmm Things to watch: the orientation of your flames - where they start and stop and what part of them you see. you did a nice job on the overlaps - and could even accentuate them a bit more - less is more with graphics - so pick a theme and carry it through I'd put a heavy panel on the back of the bag to strengthen it, because if your customer is like my friends, and they need to carry tools - I am telling you a single weight bag aint gonna cut it over even one season of riding - it will sag and tear - guaranteed you could even punch a few more slots in the back to make it even easier to mount if you bulk it up a bit. I use seriously heavyweight leather when i make toolbags - they cant be too heavy if your guys gonna be riding stuff like braiding and lacing on a bike just attracts dirt and grease (ask me how i know) an if you wax it or treat it - its even worse - so I'd consider alternative treatments, even tho it looks s;icker than snot - again - i make stuff for abusive riders - if your customers dont need this kind of attention - good for you! I'd say you did one nice job! for a second piece - its an a**kicker!!!! Quote
