the mirrors are some i found in my pile of motorcycle parts i bought and didn't use. i think i got them off ebay several years ago, i like the way they look but they only give me a good look at my elbows.

Thanks a lot, I really like the way it matches the color, was it from the link that Sherman posted?

That is a nice look. Are those the small or large bags?  Where did you take the picture? I downloaded it and am using it as a wallpaper. Looks great, your bullet military look at home in that shot.  :)

Are you a photographer by trade or hobby? The light and framing are just great. Looks like some one in a uniform will come out of the woods, take a quick look both ways, stuff the secret papers in a bag and take off.

I bought these bags...very pleased with their construction but still trying to figure out (a) how to hang them securely on my existing leather bag racks without them flying around (b) how to keep the right one from going up in flames on the now nicely blued cat and  (c)  how to make them a little filled out even when nothing is in them. I think I may have figured that out with some cardboard inserts similar to what my leather bags were shipped with. It was a chunk of cardboard cut to the width of the bag and long enough to settle in the bottom and up each end..holds the bag nicely in shape.
