Default DEUCE, anybody have a leather dash insert/bib?

I've looked and as usual "EXCEPT DEUCE" on all of them...
Gettin' real tired of the aluminum strip under my speedo.
Anybody got a source for a custom leather strip that'll fit in that space on a Deuce. Found the sticky colored (black yeah) plastic ones on ebay, but wud rather have leather. Guess I gotta have a leather guy make me one and glue it on??????????????????? Help!!!

Not a bib/bra fan myself. Just a place for dirt to get under and scratch the paint. HD sells the clear film that you can put under the bib to prevent scratches.

i didn't like the aluminum strip either. i bought exactly what you are talking about from HD several years ago for $16.95. it is part number 71686-00. it's black leather with an adhesive back. it eventually went to pot. it found a great looking chrome plated billet alum strip that attached with adhesive. i'll see if i can find my records of where i bought it.
