Desert
Dawg Leather
Chaps for your
Cobra Freeway Bars
|
An easy
"stretch and fit" for the
popular RoadKing Bar Chaps
|
|
This tech page
was created in 1999, for adapting LEATHER
Road King chaps to the LC with Cobra
Crash bars. Since then, the Desert Dawg
company has begun offering a vinyl
chap ready made for the LC (equipped
with Cobra bars). Priced between $80 and
$120, depending on stud or fringe
options, These are very high quality
chaps which require little to no
maintenance, and are an instant perfect
fit. You can buy them directly from the
company under the "Metric"
section of their website at:

If you are interested in Leather bar
chaps for your LC 1500 with Cobra Freeway bars, order the
Leather Dawgs from Desert Dawg for the HD RoadKing (FLHR).
You can soak the leather chaps in water for a while to
soften them up, then stretch, pull and tug them into
place over your Cobra Freeway bars, and secure them in
place for a week while they dry out. Then you're good to
go.
TIP! - Slide a pair of plastic garbage
bags over the bars first, or else be prepared for rust
remover polish when you get done! (Don't ask me how I
know this J)
Leather Dawgs are the only ones that can be made to fit,
because the leather can be stretched. Not so with
ballistic nylon models.
Desert Dawgs are available directly from
Desert
Dawg, or from J&P Cycles (Item
number #4426)
The Hwy peg cutout on this set was altered a bit to allow
room for my very low mounted pegs, but the chaps come
with a cutout for high mounted pegs.
Have
some fun! That's what you bought it for! J
