Tank Panels - Iron Horse vs Saddlemen

[Panama]

I'm looking to buy a new tank panel for my 98 standard, and trying to decide between the Iron Horse
http://www.speedsupplies.com/accessorylistingdetailpurch.asp?item=12770 (thanks to ricoman for posting earlier on this one) or the Saddlemen http://www.saddlemen.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=5803 (which has no pic of Valk specific)
.
However, I couldn't find any reviews, nor are there any quality pics of the either, except this one for the Saddlemen (obviously not what I wanted to see),


and this one for the Iron Horse :

However, I wanted to know if anyone had any other pics of the same panels on a Valk.

If nothing else, I'd love to hear feedback with pros/cons of either of the two.

Thanks in advance!

I think you'll find out when you try to put the iron horse in a cart to buy that it is not available. No longer made and hard to find. Occassionally on ebay (think I saw one recently for $150)

That's an Iron Horse on my sig pic. They are top notch quality and I think the best looking other then a custom  made one.

guessing its gonna look more like the green tank on the left

[ricoman]

just checked, not available,
wonder why they show it so prominently?
kinda irritating

they are the best though

Panama.....

Have you checked out Talisman tank bibs?  First rate, very high quality products.  I've got one of his tank bibs and couldn't be happier (had a Mustang bib on before).  Great guy to work with.....and he's a VRCC site sponsor and helps to keep the lights on here......

I had the Iron Horse as seen above. It was made very well and I found the two pouches to be very handy as well. After I bought an Interstate tank and had a custom picture placed under the clear coat, I understandably didn't want to cover it up. See photo below.

@BF - thanks for the tip on Talisman.. nice bibs... I've seen the Mustang, but just can't seem to make myself like them as much as others... I like the "fatter" bibs with pockets, versus the Mustang ultra skinny diamond shape.  I'll keep looking though... Maybe I'll get lucky and find a nice one on ebay.
@Misunderstood - thanks for ebay link.. that's a nice one as well, but (yeah, I'm picky), I've never been a huge fan of the studs on leather.. Everyone's got their preference I guess, and mine's the clean look, over studs/conchos.

Thanks to all of you for your responses! Much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing the pics... that's actually the exact tank panel I'm wanting.. too bad you don't still have it :-)
Likin' the custom pic as well.. I can understand why you don't want to cover it.
