Re: New Mods to my bike Reply #1 - 09/04/12 at 22:06:16 A coupla 1/2" WIDE, BROWN LEATHER STRAPS would look nice on that green thing, Get some lite metal, bend it to fit, overlap & rivet the end. Im unable to get excited about a peanut tank on anything,,I think it looks real good as is.

All the better I liked the weathered used look that's why I chose an old used magazine case versus a new one.

That's what I was thinking as well but I need to get a hold of a friend that has a press that bends metal with perfect angles. I did change out the zip ties last night and went with a stainless steel strap used for holding exhaust wrap. I painted the strap flat black and looks really good for an temporary solution.

I would think the leather would expand or stretch just enough to let the pouch fall out. I'd keep the zip tie, maybe add a second zip tie, and put a leather strap (like an old belt or something - maybe make a 10 dollar investment at Walmart or petsmart?) over the zip tie.

You nailed distressed with the pouch, but still too glossy overall. (I like shine though, it's your bike)
