Dog ate my bag
I have a 99 RK Classic and a while back a mouse got under the cover and my hound dog sniffed it out and then proceeded to eat my Corbin solo seat and gnaw a little on the edge of one of my bag lids. The Corbin seat was old and uncomfortable and I replaced it with a Mustang I like a lot better. But the bag is a different story. It is still like new except for where the dog nibbled on it and I don't want to put out the bucks that one in better shape would cost on ebay. Has anyone ever seen any kind of an edge trim that I could put on to cover the inside edge. I've found several trims for hard bags but none for the leather. If I can't find anything made for it, I'll probably take the bag to a leather shop and see if they can sew a new strip on the edge.

dog and mice eat my bike
Yes I could have. but the dog is a great mouser, and was just doing her job. The mice are costing me a fortune.. They've cost me thousand of dollars for car repairs, harnesses, wires, etc. Until now though they have never messed with the bikes. A couple of days ago I was riding and felt something wet on my leg. Found a piece of my air shock line on my fender and the shock was squirting oil on me.

WTF! Dude what kinda infestation you got going on over there for mice to be chewing on shock air line.....is this typical where you live? repairing an expensive leather bag is not going to be cheap?

Get a pest control company in that garage to fix that mouse problem! Inexpensive and effective. You'd be ahead of the game by thousands now. I have one come three times a year and it costs less than $200.00/year. I have a dog too. The pest guys use bait traps he cant get into, the only mice I've seen are dead ones!

Last month my dog ate my wallet, credit cards, and drivers license. He didn't eat the cash though. Go figure.

Go to the leather shop, they will probably repair it for less that you figure. ever since I had $600.00 damage done to the GFs bike I've been putting an open box of moth ***** underneath and Dryer sheets in places in the saddle bags, side covers, and under the seat. Seems to work good.
