Tank bra options?

[Lug Nut]

I like the studded Yamaha tank bra with 2 pouches....but for $200 it seems awfully expensive to basically hold my garage door opener....anything else besides the Hopnel that is nice?

Talk to Nancy at http://www.acehighleathers.com You can get pretty much anything you want made up.. she has templates for the RSV

I've found several tank bibs on eBay. You can actually get one with out the studs and add them yourself. Hopnel I one maker, and I think Venture line put out one out with the two pockets. I can also recommend Nanci at Ace Hi. It might be pricier, but the quality is hard to beat...

Last I heard, Hopnel is no longer available. I know that they were bought out by somebody...don't remember who. After that, I think the Venture items were discontinued.

When they were in biz they made a ton of them and they show up on eBay all the time.... You just have to be patient...it'll show up eventually..

 

VENTURE HOPNEL

If you don't mind drilling a few small holes in your windshield.. Get the Pockets... Mine doesn't look to bad- I don't think.. I put chrome ornamental nuts on the outside..

I got the Xelement brand pockets for around $30-$40... Available at http://www.leatherup.com

Thanks for the input...I'll contact Nancy.....in like the star one but $200 seems excessive

I don't think that the ones from Nancy will be any cheaper but definitely better quality. Her quality is fantastic.

Just remember you get what you pay for. I ordered a tank bib from Nanci (Ace High Leathers) 5 years ago and it still looks great after 140,000 miles. I just sold that bike and ordered another one from her and am waiting on it now. Great Quality

First off great looking bike. I was wondering why you had to drill holes in your windshield for you dash pouch? I have what appears to be the same one and I just slid mine down behind the windshield and then put the outer fairing on and it is very tight and doesn't move a bit. I alsp glued felt on the backside of it so it wouldn't scratch up the inside of the windshield?

you could swing by here and I would sell you this one cheap if you don't mind a road trip.

The one I got didn't seem to fit well.. I think it was going to be to low.. so I put it through shield... I really bought some LED amber lights to use instead of bolts.. but I think they may be to bright.. thought it would look awesome with 3 leds of amber lighting.
