A friend had a "mishap" and punched a hole in his right-side bag. He called Leather-like and they not only did they not have a right-side bag, they had no more inventory as they are now "OUT-OF-BUSINESS"!!   I will place a wanted ad in our ad section.  He is looking for a right-side bag that was built in the last two years, as they are the reinforced, much stronger units.  If anyone can help send me a PM at justmeedp@cox.net.  Thanx

As the damage is always on the inside, a repair with heavy vinyl or hide and glue and big washers, or fiberglass/resin or some such is very possible. 

But yeah, I'd rather just get another than go through that exercise.

Or go to Tsukayu for a better pair (starting at $400).  And there are a couple US dealers that I believe routinely beat Tsukayu direct prices.

EARL,
ARE YOU A FRIEND OF CHARLIE HODNET'S?  Charlie lives or did live in Pensacola.  i'm Charlie's' pal from Nevada and I have lost connection with him.  I know he was ill for a long time and perhaps he passed away.  I would sure like some news, if you have any.
Thanks for any replies.
