Are any of you guys familiar with Franks Leather Products?
http://www.franksleatherproducts.com...cs/NewHome.htm

I ordered a tank bib that he says he should have ready to send out by the end of the week, but I am thinking about the fork mounted tool bag as well. Seems like top quality stuff, but I have no first hand knowledge of his work/shipping time/etc. as this is my first order from him.

Just wondering if you guys have purchased anything from him, particularly the fork mounted tool bag. If so...what are you thoughts? Thx.

He lives real close to where I'm at, so I'm planning on stopping by his shop as soon as the school year begins. He replied to an e-mail I sent and seemed very cordial.

Looks like high quality merchandise......high price too!

Looks like quality prod. net,, but seems high prices too. I got a Mustang tank bib studded with concho/tassle for like $55, half price. Good Luck

I would agree his prices seem top heavy...was just wondering if the quality warrants the expense. Sometimes you get what you pay for...other times you just pay...

Cheers

Check out Chilhowee Leather in Grant's Pass, OR. I bought my tank bib through them.

Looks like the kind of stuff I like - please let us know your experience

My tank bib was $90 and made by a similar type individual - quality is far better than you see on 99% of bikes - no regrets about the extra $$$

I just received a tank bib with leg protection wrapping around the tank. It appears to be of good quality, but like I said, I just got it an hour ago and haven't installed it.

That's what it is. A tank bib and bra all in one piece. I asked Frank to combine the two, and he did a very nice job. I've got it on now, but I haven't cinched it down yet as my engine is still hot. I'll put a picture out in a day or two or three, or ,,,,, or.... well, real soon

Is it a "bro" or "manssiere"?

rlfaubion · 08-25-2008, 09:51 PM

I like it!

Netnorske · 08-25-2008, 10:24 PM

God I wish I had thought of that! As Paris Hilton would say..."Thats Hot"!

I wonder if I call Frank tommorrow if I can catch him in time to make me my own "wonder bra"! I'll keep you posted!

Cheers....Kris

After I described the design to Frank, I was just happy he was enthusiastic about building it. I have tried to get other Leather mfgr's to build this, but Frank is the only one to run with it. I'm impressed with the quality of materials and great fit, and he's a good business person too. Now others can enjoy his product.
