Default Rear fender bib question

What's up guys and gals. I've been gone for a while but now that the weather is turning i'm back with a vengeance. I have to update something on my sled.

number one is the rear fender, i want to put a leather cover over part of it.

I'm thinking of doing a leather strip that goes down the middle of the fender from front (starting underneath my danny gray seat) all the way to the rear tip of the fender. Thinking about having it held down to the fender with rivets, that's just a thought though.

I'm looking for any information i can get on doing this to my bike. I would like to have some kind of engraving on the leather, haven't really figured out what yet though.

i know Dragonslayer had something similar done to his bike.

Anyone else here have any further info on a vendor that can help me accomplish this?

I haven't been on the forum for a while so here are some pictures of what my ride looks like.

thanks guys and gals for any info.

The revits on the fender bid would look sweet.
