Default Making Snakeskin Fender Bib

I want my Heritage to have a slimmer look so I decided I am going to remove the backseat and the backrest. I started working on the fender bib tonight. Hopefully, it will be finished tomorrow. It is made with leather and a cobra snake skin.





Let me know what y'all think!

That looks fantastic. Is it a real Cobra? You will have to show a picture of it on your bike.

Will purchase one now, please.

Recently I did a similar thing by ditching the back seat and picked up a Mustang finder bib too match a new Mustang seat with back rest. When I have the bags on, it looks so much sleeker with a nice fat ***.

I am envious of the bib you are making and may have to alter mine to something similar now. Definitely a different snake, though. Also, looking over my shoulder at my Heritage, have you thought of crafting a tank bib to match?

That is cool. I used to ride with a guy who had a shovel that was covered entirely in snakeskin. He covered all the tins directly and then cleared the whole thing.

Pretty cool. I don't think I've seen one that color before.
