Just wanted to check in quickly and show some pictures of my new saddle bags, I've sewn them myself and I am to the point of fitting them to the bike. I'm not sure at this point if I will need them or not for the cannonball but it was certainly a fun project.
The silver you see on one side is heat resistant material for the side with the pipe.
I added some reflective ribbon just for extra visibilty, you can see from the close-up that they are home made.
I used nikwax to waterproof the bags and when they came out of the washer they were so wrinkly, you can see it in this picture. I'm gonna have to do something to get this side up a little more. it also could have been the way that I packed that bag to make it look full for the picture.
Again here is the pipe side with the reflective maerial on the outside. You can also see my dog Bucket trying to get in the shot here.
I'll have to apologize for the white-trash looking back yard, not everyone in Oklahoma has pallets and kegs in their back yard.
If you have any input on my gear questions please drop me an e-mail at robonz@yahoo.com
