Default Fender bib

I had been thinking about a custom fender bib for some time like any thing i do to my bike i sit on it for a while think about over and over again and when a decision is made i will make a move. About a two months ago I contacted Pat at Sundog Leather and told him i was ready for a custom bib. I sent him a bunch of pictures of my bike and we e mailed for a while with our thoughts a few days later Pat sent me around five variations my thought process started again and it was a hard thing for me to make a decision i liked pats ideas and he is sharp taking into consideration some of the things on my bike like the pin stripes and the studs and a few other things we agreed on the spade which i have one on my seat rail he picked up on that and added a bunch of tremendous detail to it and its a master piece, its done in two layers white and black as my bike is it has pin stripes studs as my seat does and a nice background pattern, the spade has a series of small studs around it a really nice touch and the end of the bib has a beautiful kind of sunburst pattern . its backed with a nice layer of felt to protect the paint and its formed to the shape of the fender a perfect fit this is a piece of art and to me worth the money i paid. I wont discuss money you will have to talk to pat about that but this is a one of a kind piece and i feel its just above and beyond any i have seen. check the picture its a crappy i phone shot but you should get the idea.

Well done as always Nikon. I have always thought you have the sickest sled in here. Although I really liked your sled with the smaller front wheel. But its still sick with the 21. Good job brother.

Another one of the sweetest rydes on the Forum. That is beautiful, man!!!! It's a piece of art that compliments your ryde perfectly while not taking away from her, for sure. I may have to rethink a bib on mine now as well.

He did me a custom tank panel and I love it. He does sweet work. Well worth the $$$ for talent like that.
