In My Never Ending Quest
Actually it all started at Wal Mart this morning. Walking by the ladies belts I spotted a very nice all leather belt. The grain of the leather was outstanding and what I liked the best was it was on sale for 7 bucks. I took the belt and checked out at one of those self checkouts hoping nobody would think I was a trany shopping for accessories.
Once I made my exit from Wal Mart without one person noticing I was buying ladies accessories I made it home and promptly cut the buckle and holes section of the belt off. I then cut it into 2 sections of the same length and begin to create what I had been playing with in my mind for months.
To me leather and motorcycles go together like peanut and butter. Anyway here's what the ending project turned out to be. While some might not like it I am totally pleased with it.

By the way, my never ending quest is to have an Ultra Classic that doesn't look like everyone else's and doesn't look like it completely came out of the Harley Davidson accessory parts book.

My Ultra is black. I like the anonymity of owning "just another black Electra Glide", but when you look close, it's different than all the others. Someday I'll get around to posting some pics...

The console holds it down. I took the console off and laid the leather down and figured out how I wanted it to run and where the spots should be. Once I had the leather like I wanted it I simple put the console back down on top of the leather. I had to push the rubber grommet back and under the console where the leather was and then tightened down the screws. I did have to make a custom lenght screw for the console where it attached under the seat. The stock screw just wasn'tlong enough.

What's not to like? Love it! Looks really sharp against that white tank.
We WILL start worrying about youif you start buying thongs though. You'd have to change your name to T-back Texas.
