Thanks guys. I really appreciate your feedback. Prior to a year ago, I had no idea how to use a sewing machine...I'm self-taught out of necessity and being on a short budget

Xlock...I'm glad you like them. I use my set daily. I really like the extra storage.

Eric, let me know when you try them out. I'm anxious to see if the modifications work for the Voyager models.

My dad is a professional upholsterer and he & mom were in town last night. I let him look at some of the products that I'm making (universal pocket/bottle holder, saddlebag chaps, engine guard chaps, saddlebag guard chaps) and he was thoroughly impressed as well. He asked me if there was a market for recovering bike seats, which is something he can do and I can't or haven't tried.

I've always thought a saddle leather looking tan would be sweet on my color combo but then I would need a new matching universal bottle/pocket combo to match...I'd be interested!

OK - I finally got a chance to get some good pics with these puppies on . . . I had the Bags off today for some cleaning so snapped these . . . I took some of the back so you all can see what Bama had to modify . . . These are great!!! And the cup holder passed the ultimate test - it holds an Large Dunkin coffee!!!!

Glad to see some entrepruneurial spirit is received so well.

Congrats on filling a need (want) for others. That's what America is all about.

Given the reviews, you seem to make a product that makes the grade!

I purchased and installed the bottle holder and pouch on mine. Excellent product. The workmanship is excellent. I talked with Bamarat, sent the money and he shipped the same day. Just an overall great experience. Thanks Bamarat.

Thanks Randy for the feedback. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

Btw...I've got 2 sets of bottle holders and pocket/flaps completed and ready to ship. $65 for the set. If you're wondering how you'd like em, ask RAG, Napom, and MNBK. :thumbup:

Any other Voyager owners that are on the fence about these get off the fence and contact Bamabrat. These are what you're looking for. They should work for the other 1700 with top loading bags too.

Just wanted to reach out and let everyone know that i'm still making custom pieces on the side...engine guard chaps, universal bottle holder & pocket (installs on the rails in front of the saddlebags), and saddlebag chaps. If you're interested, send me a PM. Same with questions. There are several threads with pics, prices, reviews, etc. if you perform a "search" on Bamabrat, engine guard chaps, etc.

I posted a review of Jason's pouches here:

I am very happy with them (even if he is a Bama fan ). War Eagle!
