I am looking for the company that makes a gas tank bib for the Interstate that covers the gas cap. I bought one several years ago, but can't recall the manufacturers name. Thanks

Check with Heritage Saddlebags. Nice product and nice people to deal with. They gave me a discount for being a VRCC member. Their web site (heritagesaddlebag.com) says they are restructuring due to the economical crunch, but they provide an email adress. Maybe you can still get them... Might be worth a try.

That reflection sucks doesn't it??? I was at a nearby Honda shop, fairly old dealer, they had a big box in the floor with a bunch of discontinued accessories. Found an Iron Horse tank bib for an I/S and a luggage rack that was made for a late 80's wing that fit my I/s perfect. Got both for $40.00 each  Went to local Walmart fabric section and picked up a piece of fake leather for about 4 bucks, cut a pattern to cover gas cap and used velcro to attach.  No more glare from tank...I don't think i'll win any bike shows with it but it sure serves its purpose. |

I have a guy who does leather work said he could build me a cover pretty easily but I haven't gotten back to him with a follow-up yet. It would not be a whole bib just a cover for the cap.

I used a combination of Hopnel bibs. Works great and easy access to fuel cap.  .jpg) |
