Valkyrie 1500c leather saddle bags/ panniers

On the top of my saddle bag you can see a couple of the decorative studs are missing. I was wondering if anyone has ideas of where I can get replacements for them. :beg:

Leather tooling supply should have studs. Might find them in a craft store or online.

Look online. I bought a pack of nickel plated that has held up well. Can't remember where I got them but there were a couple sites that carried them.

Should be a local to you leathersmith that would have them, ebay probably has tons of them but shipping may be too much...try saddle makers and outback suppliers as well.

It has been doing my head in with the amount of different styles. Zack White leather seem to have a reasonable selection but not the same as my original ones. If I can't find the right ones I will get some similar ones and swap them with some of the bottom ones which won't stand out as much.
This having an unmolested beauty queen is a lot of hard work! :smilie_happy:

Buy contrasting rivets and swap out every other one. Give the old gal the look you want.

Sounds like too much work for me. :head bang:
I will only run the saddle bags for a one night overnight trip. Any longer than that it would surely be the Rats Nest as the preferred mode of transport. Val will remain naked except on special occasions :blush:
