I think it is a 6"x 4" pouch, it is purdy roomy.
I like the fact that it snaps on and off, even has a belt loop
on the back of it for putting it on your belt, and comes with a
nice leather strap to carry as a little pocketbook for the women folk!

It's pretty nice, got it off of eBay from a guy that does custom leather work, does saddle bags and such too.

Now that's a good idea. Is the pouch stiff, or soft leather?

The pouch itself is sorta stiff, but the sides flex for making more room inside the pouch.
The pad itself is of a soft leather, and you can get diamond, or round spots on it.
I was trying to figure out something to put over the tank pad itself when and if I decided
to run without the pouch, because the pad itself is really nice looking.
It is all well made stuff!
How was the rally?

The rally is this weekend. We're at the hotel in Round Rock as it looks likes it's pouring buckets in Austin. No sense in being miserable walking around in the rain!
You know, you could have all kinds of different medallions and tooled leather pieces made to snap into the place of the pouch. Your bike would look a little different all the time.

Yeah I was thinking about that I might email the guy and ask him about that, maybe get a little break on price
with the idea and advertisment of his product! Heh, heh.
I looked at the forecast this mornig and all the rain is south, supposed to clear up tomorrow, and this weekend though!
Have fun!
