Default Custom Dyna Toolbox
Started with used leather HD windshield bag. I took it apart, made it shorter and lower to fit on fender rail between signal and shock. I sewed it back together with braided fishing line and some aluminum pop rivets. I made an exact fit aluminum box liner, some stainless steel mounting plates and mesh to the hold shape of bag. The aluminum bracket mounts to the front fender bolt and the rear signal bolt with SS "L" brackets. Used SS fasteners throughout and polished brackets. I wanted to have a leather wrapped metal tool box that would carry the tools and not loose its shape.
