These are my two latest additions. A round leather tool bag for carrying yet more stuff. (hmmmm female equivalent of a purse?) And my battery cover, that ofcourse I managed to scratch while putting together. Ever have a day where everything you touch turns to crap?

Beautifully done and original, Tali!
Was just looking at your gallery again....Love the spiral/Maltese cross detail on your pipe bracket...cool combination of imagery.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thank you all for the compliments.
The brass knuckles were drilled and tapped. Drilled coresponding holes in the Triumph chrome cover, used rubber washers and screwed it on. The screw heads stuck out a little in the back and I was afraid of rubbing the battery so I used a leather spacer to protect it.
The tool bag actually took two tries, the first one came out too big to fit on the bottom of the frame. So I turned it into a fork/sissybar bag combination ladies event purse.
Yes by putting d rings on the sides of the bag you use the connection strapes to make a purse handle. When your done walking around, just place the strapes back into the rear slots and conect it to fork or sissybar. A friend already bought it and I got a request for a second. Now all I need is 36 hours in a day.

So what you're saying is you'll be glad to handle all the leather needs here at BA.com. Just so you can hear it one more time - You have done some really cool work.

Thanks Stewart. I may have to quite my day job to do that.
I am working on a belt/handle bar pouch (snap it on your belt or on your bars)with a tooled British Flag on it. Whenever I finish it, I'll post a pic and offer it up for sale.
