What if we skip the cross bar and I make the pattern from plywood? Something u-shaped, inverted.

Well, I was thinking, facing the front, but, your idea works too!

I also need to come up with a way to secure it to the backrest. Any ideas? Anyone?

The stock backrest pad mounts with the top hole that you can see and a clamp, at the bottom, which I do not have. I'm thinking I might drill two small holes through the tubing, someplace on the lower portion of it. Either that or I will figure out another way to mount it. Let me cut out a pattern using 1/2 hardwood plywood and we'll go from there.

I actually was thinking about putting the spikes on the front of the pad, just to be different... give it that sadistic look, if you know what I mean . I don't think I have seen anything like that before!

Please send me a PM with your email address and as soon as I get the pattern cut out, I'll send you some pics, before I send it to you.

Re:custom hand tooled leather saddlebags and goods 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I've got the Silverado saddlebags (with studds) and would like to have black fringe added to them to get them looking something like the attached photo.

Since my bag carriers have been chromed already, it doesn't make sense to change the bag so I figure I'd see if you could add fringe to them. I've included a sample of what I'm looking for and will send a pic of the current bags on the bike.

Going with the Indian look for my bike.
