On the main board is a link to vendors.
There is a very good bib maker there that can and probably will build ya what ya want.
I got one on MGM that I have had for several years.

TANK BIB
Get hold of Chris at "Three Mutts" He is currently handcrafting mine. He picked up a tank so as to, be able to supply to we"THE Elite" valk owners. The artwork and craftsmanship are excellent. Price is great and he actually keeps in touch. (unlike a lot of aftermarket suppliers). I checked out 4-5 other Bib shops but nobody comes close to Chris's talent and customer service. Here in the "Great White North" Canada our riding season starts possibly in April, so there is no rush. Check out his website and get a drool cup handy.

Got my shadow seat from Rich. no affiliations, yada yada. Built to fit you must be there to sit on the bike. He had this bike sitting in the shop to show off his work. Your tank request reminded me of it. http://www.richscustomseats.com/PhotoSingle.asp?PageID=80&MakeID=13&Placeholder=80 Looks even cooler up close.

Do you know if Chris has a Valkyrie standard or Interstate tank that he uses to make his bibs? His web site doesn't say.

Chris picked up and Interstate tank, by the pictures, it is the same as my 03 Standard, contour and filler aassembly are identical. I should have progress pics or the complete bib in a week or two. Will post pics, if I can figure out the twisted photo upload on this site????

I have a few scratches from where the first owner dropped the bike against his basement wall. There's a ding on the front fender as well. I had always thought the idea of a leather wrapped bike would be great. The marks don't bother me that much, and I use mine more like a work truck than a show piece. On the other hand it'd be a nice way to dress it up. I'd like to see more people that have done it and how much the cost is.

Simply AWESOME craftsfmanship. I am getting the Whaletail with a Shrine and WidowSons engraving, Multi-colors. Cant wait to see it??? I am going to have him make a rear fender protector also.Less scuffs and maybe have some artwork. Check him out, straight shooter. Thats "Three Mutts Customs"

Is this a done deal yet, I'd like to see the finished product. The whaletail is a looker!

I just emailed Chris, at Three Mutts Custom, asked him to put up a pic of my tank bib, on his site. As I mentioned the pictures and updates from him are very appreciated. Its good to work with a craftsman that knows how to communicate. As soon as I get the measurements done, I will send them to him for the rear fender bib with the Masonic, Square and Compass. Check his site out, I have no interest in the business and just want to pass along information to other bike owners that can utilize his talents.
