Don't screw with it! See a professional.
 
For those who read my post about the tear in my vinyl saddlebag on my Deluxe. Went to a detail place who gave me the number of a guy that does vinyl/leather repairs. Took a nice little ride over to his house and within 30 minutes bag is literally like new. With the use of jelled vinyl, heat gun, and matched dye, the repair is perfect and undetectable. So this guy tells me if I had tried glueing it, which was my first instinct, it would have been permanently ruined. Just wanted to share the info. in case anyone has similar encounter. I thought 30 bucks was reasonable see'n how my $750 bags are now perfect again.

Whoa ! they're Naugahide Leather. Do you know how many little Nauga's they had to kill to make those bags ?

Great advice and well worth the $30. As is buying those bags from Zanottis @$600 instead of $750:D
