Hey guys!

We had the pleasure of making this set for a customer this week. Pictured here is our Indian heat shield, Indian tank bib, and a sneak peek at our newest product—our saddlebag cup holder with an overlay(coming soon to the website ).

Everything features our blue alligator embossed leather, and we’re pretty proud of how this one turned out!

We can’t wait to see it all installed and will share photos with you once we get them.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

AND SO THE STORY GOES...

OK, I see how much fun you have with our cupholder design. Here is the story behind it that confirms that you are not so far off with your thoughts.

A few years ago we were looking into a pattern for a cup holder that only included ONE die vs several pieces that we would have to piece together. So how can we do that?

Well, an old friend of ours in the Florida Keys had a monkey and we remembered that he had to cut down diapers to fit the monkey. And that's how that pattern was created. Absolutely true story because we couldn't make this stuff up.

I also remember that this male monkey got "excited" when he saw red nail polish. Also true.

So here you go. We called it back them the monkey diaper. Our lever fringes were called "squids" and our heat shield was the "crotch cooler". There you have it. :)

PS: After such a positive response, we will try to get it up on our website during the next week. Morgan in the leather shop has to fabricate them for some nice photos and we will put up a link asap and will let you know.

It’s the weekend! Woohoo!

We had a customer reach out and ask if we’ve ever put our “exotic leather” overlays on our cup holders. It’s not something we currently offer… but it definitely got us thinking. So this week, we decided to play around with the idea—and here’s what we came up with.

This one features our red leather with a lace overlay sewn onto the front, and honestly… we think it turned out pretty awesome.

What do you guys think? Should this be something we start offering?

Have a great weekend!

Riding Season is Right Around the Corner -

Before the miles start piling up, it’s a good time to make sure your bike is ready for warmer weather. One thing a lot of riders forget about until it’s too late…heat!

Happy Friday!!

We won’t be making it down to Daytona Bike Week this year, but we’d LOVE to see all your photos if you’re heading that way! Drop your pics in the comments — we want to see you, your bike, and all the fun.

Sharing this awesome shot from our girl Gwynne of her Scout rocking our tan heat shield with the whiskey leather + lace overlay such a nice combo!

We hope everyone has an amazing weekend. If you’re going to Bike Week, have the best time and ride safe out there!

Loving MikeRidesdaily bike with our heat shield on it! It’s definitely going to give him some much-needed relief from that Florida heat — riding in FL is no joke!

The first time installing your Captain Itch heat shield can sometimes be a little tricky, especially if you’re running an aftermarket seat. Our leather is thick and sturdy, so it can feel a little stiff at first.

If you ever run into a struggle, we recommend wetting the leather with warm water to help soften it and make it more pliable for installation.

And as always, if you have any questions or issues, don’t hesitate to call or message us. We’re always here to help!

What better place to show off my sweeet new heat shields from

If youve got an aftermarket seat, just soak that sucker in water over night and itll pop right on ;)
