I'm designing one with Patrick now. Besides being a patient man he is a very talented craftsman who is very professional. Don't hesitate to use him.

yeah, he sends you pdf files to print that come out the same size as the bib or panel so you can test fit it....

Thanks guys. I'll take a look at Sundog Leather then. That sounds like maybe the way to go for me. I'm assuming his prices are fair for the job performed? I know since it will be a custom job, I'm going to pay for it, which is fine with me. Rather pay a man with talent, than a machine to stamp one out!!!

This is how he works. You will contact him, and he will ask you questions about you and he will ask for pics of your bike. He will then come up with a few designs and send them to you. He then makes a final product based on your input and sends you the template to print and test fit. He sent me pictures of my panel once he started work on it from start to finish. He stamps a serial number into it and will not produce another one like it for someone else....can't get any more custom than that. I will tell you to have your wallet ready, but IMHO, you get what you pay for. He also covers the back in real heavy felt to keep it from hurting your paint.....

If you haven't pulled off the plastic sticker that is protecting your rear fender I would leave it on and if you have then keep it to stick it back on when you are putting the passenger seat on.

That sounds pretty custom to me!! I'll have to wait for the wallet to get a little fatter I guess. Thanks for the info.

Ash, I haven't and won't pull that plastic cover off. Because of the pass. seat is the reason I'm leaving it and looking for the bib. Thanks though...

J & P catalog shows several styles of fender bibs. About 35.$ + ship & made by Mustang & catalog is free. Mine matches seat & bags in material & style.
