Default The Finishing Saddlebag Touch
A couple of weeks ago I posted a thread showing my new custom saddlebags from Osprey. I also added a tank panel from a '97 Springer. But there was still something missing.

So Friday I dropped off my Corbin seat and backrest and my windshield bag at a local seat upholsterer, and he precisely matched the red piping on the saddlebags. I think it came out great -- just the right finishing touch it needed.

If anyone wants the upholsterer's info, PM me; he's in Simi Valley.
