Not bad for being synthetic.
So I installed this bib on my 2001 Indian Drifter aka Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter 800, HA!So let me start by saying that this by no means "fits like a glove". I cursed like a salty sailor trying to fit this bib properly.First problem:Keeping the same space between the circumference of the cutout and the housing bezel is a FREAKING PAIN IN A$$!Second problem:Keeping the proper tight seal on the bezel's rubber.This is definitely a two man job. My girl opted-out of any motorcycle helping because of my Army method of doing things which inludes, cursing, more sursing, louder cursing and finally stabbing and killing with a screwdriver, the very thing that I was trying to install.You need someone hold the top of the bib while you position the bezel and then stretch ever so slightly until you center the top, side & bottom on the cutout hole to the bezel.If you do it alone (like me) then you have to first align the bezel so you can loosely tighten to the tank mount enough to put pressure on the bib so you can pull the sides to equal spacing. The problem is the mesh lining underneath the bib slides on the tank's smooth paint surface. It will disalign itself quite easily and keeping the top of the bib from bunching up inside the bezel's top hole was a mission.Third problem:Tighten the gas tank lower bolt to proper torque without tearing the fabric of the bib. It took a couple of tries but I was able to keep the lower part straight and the torque the bolt probably.Last problem:The pocket's flap velcro is not properly sewn to match hook to loop. The hook is sewn too high where only a third of it makes contact with the loop. Of course since I'm anal retentive and I can actually sew, I repositioned the loop so it would latch properly with the loop.Overall it is not bad for being made of synthetic vinyl. The fabric is very thin and if you keep anything inside the pocket for too long it will take that form. I added an Indian Concho to the pocket flap I bought here on Amazon as well.
