gunboat Posted April 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 20, 2009 annie do you know anyone who could make you one? seams like someone down there would be working with cow hide/leather. used to be a company called tandy leather here in the states. where you could buy leather and tools to work it. don't know if that company is still in business or located down there. best reguards don c.

Jerry W Posted April 20, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 20, 2009 http://www.chilhowee.net/images/chil_logo.jpg You might give their website a look. They have in stock stuff, or will custom make what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Annie Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted April 23, 2009 Hi Troy, Thanks for the post and I think you may have solved my problem :happy65:Does it come with a removeable pouch/pocket?? and could it be made a little wider at the top?? I am really worried about what the paintwork is going to look like if my boot keeps hitting the tank as I swing the "gammy" leg over it, but don't want to catch my foot on the pouch (can go on when I'm on!) Please send me a personal message with how much one would cost plus shipping?? WOW:sign woo hoo: all the bits are slowly coming together for me to ride again after nearly a year and a half. Just waiting on my trike conversion now. Thanks again for the help ___________________________________________________________________________ never ride faster than your guardian angel:2133:can fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
