Barry.B Posted May 17, 2014 #1 Posted May 17, 2014 Hi everyone Just a quick Question I have a 2004 midnight venture and I am looking for a fuel tank bib with 2 pockets and studs without the big price tag of 100. to 200 dollar marked on them . If anyone has any idea's please let me know . Thank You Barry:confused07:
XV1100SE Posted May 17, 2014 #2 Posted May 17, 2014 Not shown on a Venture and has one pocket... but my Hopnel is similar to this http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/hopnel-carbon-fiber-tuxedo-ties-yamaha-royal-star-venture/part/BBP-Y60-101CF Few other options here - http://www.westendmotorsports.com/tankfender-bibs-royal-star-venture-c-303_340_1219_3527.html
kantornado Posted May 17, 2014 #3 Posted May 17, 2014 I bought the one Yamaha sold with the studs for 200. The Velcro is cheap and did not hold the flap down and the cheap zipper broke after about a summer. Replaced both at a cost of 50 bucks and they work good now. From what I have seen on other bikes it would of been better to of gone to a leather shop and had one made the way "I" wanted it. Live and learn............
cecdoo Posted May 17, 2014 #4 Posted May 17, 2014 I have the Hopnel, very nice product, on my bike for 6 years no problems. Craig
XV1100SE Posted May 17, 2014 #5 Posted May 17, 2014 Don't keep sunglasses or tinting glasses in the bub pocket. I did this last summer and the heat/humidity messed up the coating. I had to replace my prescription sunglasses.

EasyRider Posted May 18, 2014 #7 Posted May 18, 2014 Has some fantastic tank straps on their website and will be at The Dalles for the Venture West get together. They are also a member vendor. Possibly looking at the bag lid covers for mine from them.
Freebird Posted May 18, 2014 #8 Posted May 18, 2014 Ace High Leathers is nothing short of fantastic. Nanci is GREAT to work with and offers very high quality items.
mabeline Posted May 18, 2014 #9 Posted May 18, 2014 I've got one from Talisman Leathers. Only one pocket but good quality, and they're almost on your door step. They're in London ON.
Barry.B Posted May 18, 2014 Author #10 Posted May 18, 2014 Thank you everyone for your time and advise I will try either Ace High Leathers or Talisman Leathers . Barry:thumbsup2:
Midnight Posted May 18, 2014 #11 Posted May 18, 2014 http://www.saddlebagsbytalisman.com/ This is where I got mine in London Ontario. Very pleased. JR
XV1100SE Posted May 18, 2014 #12 Posted May 18, 2014 Did you take a picture? Usually if I see something on a Venture that I like and consider for my ride, I take a picture.
