I like the brown cause its kinda old school ... black is such an over used color on bikes ... you really need to break up the colors a little ... but to each his own ... I like black leather on some rides but I really dont ever see brown bags and seats to much ...kinda why I went that way ... make me feel like a cowboy ..

Excellent work. How long did it take to make the bag? How did you tool the edges? an I made a leather seat pan & tank strap to replace the stock plastic pan. It took more hours than I care to remember.

I am rather quick with it ... that bag was 3 days but I was working on other stuff for people ... the seat took forever cause I had to weld all the moutns and make the brackets for the frame ... the leather work for the seat wasnt that bad ... I have done some pain in the *** tooling but nothing so bad I hated life
