Bags I made for my interceptor

[1984shovelhead]

made these using 24 oz canvas covered with 11 oz waxed canvas and trimmed in the leather.I used Longride’s attachment system .they have a darkbrown cordura liner with a roll down top attached to the outer bags with Velcro.The back side that the bracket is attached to is made from .125 aluminum sheet

Absolutely top notch craftsmanship! What did you use to do the stitching through the leather?

My Tippmann aerostitch sewing machine it can sew 3/4 inch of just about anything sewable lol

THAT is a serious machine! A 75lb, 100PSI pneumatic beast that puts my little Singer to shame! And you obviously know how to use it.

I notice you don't have stock mufflers, do you think they run cooler than the stockers? I bought angled leather bags to go with my stock mufflers and keep to a safe distance.

Your bike looks fantastic! I love how the bags match the tank colors, along with the shorty exhaust. Did you hand paint the side case letters?

Can you darn socks too??

Your wife must be jealous of your sewing skills!

Haven’t measured engine temps but no doubt mufflers themselves feel cooler they are Norman Hyde’s with baffles awesome sound
