i might just have to try that.  I would have to sew by hand though so I gues smine would be an advanced $1 tank bag  :lol:  :lol:   Good tutorial though

I sew mine by hand (what a pain), and yes... you might want to consider a better quality bag ( i will make another one with a better bag) if you want the bag to last years and years.  :thumb:

I kinda like the getto riffic dollar store bag myself, it has character  :lol:  .  Plus I am in the extremely broke situation and I have always been looking for something to do with all the extra HDs that I have lying around (10).

think they call em "Rare Earth" magents, very strong but need to be close proximity.
Accelerate like your being chased, Corner like you mean it, Brake as if you life depends on it.
Ride Hard...or go home.
