I am recently in the market for a tank bib and have been doing some research and stumbled upon this brand. I was wondering if anyone has it.  I know the picture posted isn't of a Valkyrie but I like the look and the quality seems great. Let me know what you think.

I ordered one recently from http://www.saddlebagsbytalisman.com/.  They're very good quality, great service and are one of our sponsoring vendors.

They also have an option for gas cap cover which gets rid of the glare from the chrome trim ring.

Good luck!

I would go with the real leather (laced edges would be a must for me.  I like it
like it shows in the pix) and don't forget the Buffalo Butter..... That's what will allow the bib to age gracefully instead of drying, curling and cracking.  Since it is only for looks, spend a few extra bucks and get a pice of art work.  Just personal opinion.

I really love the look of the laced edges too. I emailed them to see if the could do the laced edges in red as well. If they can do it than I think I may just pull the trigger but I was just looking for someone to give me a warm fuzzy and tell me how much they loved theirs. Oh well, maybe I will have to be a trend setter this time!

Check out, Chris at Three Mutts Customs, he is a true artist and has the tank for the Standard, check his photo gallery for Whale Tails, mine is the one with the Shriner Logo.

boomer88,   cooldude

I ordered a tank bib from Chilhowee and I'm really happy with quality.  PM me i will give my email address and send you a photo, since I have not taken the time to learn how to post pic on forum.

I too have the bib from http://www.saddlebagsbytalisman.com/. 

I agree with the statement "They're very good quality, great service and are one of our sponsoring vendors.". I have nothing but praise for the product.

However, I ordered the product your looking at yesterday after seeing the picture on their website.
I love the look! I ordered mine with black studs and a pocket. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and ask them about a gas cap cover. Just a simple flap, formed to the cap curve would be awesome.

I think the broad hand lacing looks very classy!

I'll post before and after once I take delivery.

Cheers,

Glenn
