I've been thinking about offering this for a while now and am looking for a couple of projects to expand my leather work portfolio. Pretty much what I am offering are handmade leather side bags to replace missing side covers. I did this on my GS450 a few years back, this one holds my registration, a handful of tools, extra fuses, a flashlight. It's not huge but enough to carry the kind of stuff that's handy to have on a motorcycle.
I am not looking to make saddlebag or fork type bags. Obviously, this would be a little more suitable for a non-stock bike. On some bikes, electronics protrude from the profile of the frame, accounting for the shape of the stock side covers so it may not work for your application.
I normally carry black, brown and natural undyed vegetable tanned leather. The bag in the pictures was cut from the latter and developed a nice patina after a couple of years.
If you are interested, after getting in touch via email/PM, I'll ask you to go to make a cardboard/paper cutout to use as the profile of the bag to send over (digitally or via mail). Turn around time will likely be several weeks and cost will be in the $90 range (not including shipping).
Thanks,
Sam
