I really don't like the Triumph tank bra on my 2003. The pocket sticks up funny. Anyone know of an alternative ...

I just made one! I missed out on one on Ebay and I didn't want to pay full price for it.

I made mine out of top grain dark blue leather. Check it out. I can make them for people if they would like one. I can't get fancy on the lettering on it, my sewing machine will just do block letters like you see in the pictures.

OK Lady Trump,
Start thinking about "How Much $ do I get for my bras".

Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

I can make them for about $35.00 each, with shipping to the USA. (to other countries, will do for $30.00 plus actual shipping) They may take me a while, vacation to NH coming up and I work a 40+ hours per week. All I have for leather now is the dark blue seen in my pictures. Lettering is all block letters only.

HUMMM.... Should I put some on ebay?

You could, but it sounds like you may get enough orders here to keep you going for a bit.

Well, guess on the next rainy day off. I will start making a few of them. Now I have the pattern made, they should go quickly. I will post one in the classified ads when finished.l I can even put a bonnevilleamerica.com patch on the pocket... just a thought.

Sounds great, will send you email pictures when finished. But need to go to Laconia bike week, and we are spending every spare minute trying to do that. I have two seats to repair before we go!

If you could get one, that would be cool...

I have not had that luck.

I definitely would be up for a new bra for my BA. And I would much rather support a forum member than a storefront. ( No offense Brent)

Put me on the list. Black with Bonneville America logo!!
