Looking and coming together well.  What type of windshield bag did you go with?  It's on my things to add list......

Now that I am getting closer to deciding what color, shade, and finish I will use on my bike, I keep coming back to yours as my favorite.

Have you been able to shoot any pics outside in natural light?

And, more importantly, it doesn't look like gloss to me, is it semi-gloss, mat, or flat?

Whatever it is, that is the look, I am looking for.   ;)

Thanks,
Couple pics of the bike outside attached. It is an ivory color in the shade...A little yellowish in the sun, like butter.  It's a mat finish.
Cheers.

I bought leather from FJleather, on Ebay. It was about a year ago.    They are from out east - probably digging out from many many inches of snow right now (come to think about it, they had a blizzard the week I bought my stuff..... )

I checked and they do not have any listings at this moment on Ebay - but this is the contact info I had
Sally O'Donnell
F & J Leather, Inc.
Cell #: 617-688-9091

The stuff I got was excellent quality, and at a great price.

If you don't get them immediately, check back later - I remember it's a father-daughter outfit, and if I recall one or both of them had some health issues at that time.

If that doesn't work---  search on Ebay for "horse" leather saddlebags -- I found a lot better selection for what I wanted that way - that's how I found F&J

Thanks. I think I found some. Have them ordered (in black)...will see what they look like on the bike.

Now onto finding some retro saddlebags. Maybe some horse cavalry type.

Cool lookin' Drifter! 8)
BTW, Tj, would you tell me where you did find those nice black mirrors? I'd like to go with them for ma-deuce, too.

Thanks. The mirrors were a PIA to find. I ordered a 3" mirror set at first, but I found the 3" looked a bit small for the bike. I ended up ordering a 4" set, which is what you see on the bike. I haven't been at highway speeds yet, so I have no idea if the mirrors have any vibration in them.

They have alot of parts. Shipping was quick.
