Default The tank bib...

Well the bike came with a tank bib. It was rather plain which is fine. But it had a big bulg in the middle and some other issues. I yanked it off and the tanknisnt quite as perfrxtly flat and smooth as elsehwhere. So since I do leatherwork in my spare time on the truck I decided to make one. Just gotta do the stitching amd the finish work and its done.

Nice. Kind of has a 'punisher' vibe to it.
