Default Fender Bib

I'm trying to get some ideas on where to find a rear fender bib for my Deluxe, as I am about to install the white HD spring seat. Is there a vendor that makes custom bibs, or does anyone know of one that would go with this style seat?

Thanks

Not sure where else you can go but i got a mustang bib and imo its kinda... cheap. Definitley would advice against them. Shame too cause their seats are awesome but they kinda went half assed on the easier thing to make

I would try a google search. There are several shops that do custom work and would make you a bib. It's just going to take some searching and calls. You might have the best luck checking with a local auto upholstery shop.

Well, I was about to say that I like the Mustang Bib. I have one on mine and it looks good to me. As usual, most of these types of questions will get responses from all over the spectrum.

I would take it to a leather/upholstery shop, explain the look you want, show them the bike, and let them make a suggestion. Lots of those shops are run by real craftsmen who can visualize stuff because they do it all the time.

Look for custom seat manufacturers in your area... a bib is about the easiest thing to make if they have the machine to sew it with.

I get the feeling that mustang may have just rushed on the bib for the blacklines and slims just to get something out there. Bibs for the other bikes might be better. Mine just doesnt hug the fender very well

I made my own from the top panel of an old saddlebag.

I would like to get it trimmed in something.
