But it is a nice looking ride at that theme and looks really good.
On the 1500 is that a Inspire travel Trunk? That is coming along really well.

Sorry guys I wanted to show different set ups such as solo seat , new add on etc. , but I guess my files are to large to post .

It is really interesting the focus that Kawasaki put on retro-bikes in the late 90's.

Cut it to length and glue it on......done!
Deer hide is perfect for this because it's the only leather that can get wet and when it dries out it doesn't get all hard and start cracking. It gets a little hard at first, but just scrunch it up with your hands a little and it returns to softness. Other leathers won't do that, so deer hide is perfect for floorboard and fender skirts that see more wetness then most other places on a bike might.

So still not sure were you would mount them and how they would actually work.
