I have been using franks leather bib for a few years now on the wife's VN 800 and yes you get what you pay for. Stood up well over time and doesn't have that mass produced look and he uses top quality leather. My 07 soloed Nomad is also fitted with Leather work from Frank consisting of tank bib,Fender bib,Mudguards and fork bag. If your using a Cobra lightbar the medium is to big and gently rubs the fender so i switched to the small size and put the original bag on the wifes 800. I went with studs,conchos,and side lacing and after 1 year on the nomad they look like the day they went on and stood up well to rain,sun ect and fit well with a mustang studded solo seat.
I would use Frank in the future as he really seems to be the type that will take on any special request and always keep me in the loop as to build time and shipping times.48 hours after he shipped them they arrived on my door step up here in canada and took less than 1 hour to install it all Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Mansierre! LMAO, that's a good one! Valdez, that looks great. Hope you don't mind if your idea suddenly becomes quite popular with us here. If you don't mind my asking, what did it cost?

I don't know what Frank will ask for the Mansierre. I did some trading and a little cash for it. Feel free to get one or yourself ffrom Frank.

Great news! I got in touch with Frank and he is definitely going to build me one. He says yours is the first...but I told him the same thing...he may have more orders once everyone see this.
It is costing me around $150.00...but I'm okay with that for a custom quality build. I will post a photo or two once I get it, but it might be a week or two now. I'm just stoked I caught him in time! Cheers....Kris

That is one sweet bib. I think I'll write another letter to Santa.
Good job Valdez. |

I just ordered my highway bar coves for my 1600. I've been wanting those ever since I spied Trip's. I tried to talk him out of them, but for some reason he wouldn't part with them. Some folks are just downright unreasonable.

Showed the wife and she sez it looks "ucky." The only taste the women ever had was when she married me. Ha
