..."Is that the same thing as door edge guard that's available at auto parts stores?"

Actually, I believe it is! I honestly never really thought about it, but it makes sense!

Well...just added some more leather to the bike. Always searching for something extra and can't leave it alone...but sure am having fun making it my own. The bag is from AmeriTex and the leather on the engine & saddlebag guards, kickstand are from Chilhowee.

Looks good, I put my fringe on the upper half of the engine guard. I kinda like it down on the bottom.
Who's highway pegs are those?

Heck, I don't know anymore...maybe Kuryakyn (?)... its been a long time. Post some pictures of the engine guard fringe please. I thought about ordering a set for that but changed my mind at the last minute.

Whiskers, your bike looks great! Everything flows together very well. I can tell you have put a lot of time and thought into the design. Please tell me what kind of seat and backrest you are using.
