With the weather turning bad, it's time to mess with trivial stuff.
I'm thinking of putting a Triumph leather embellisher on my leather windshield bag just to dress it up a bit. (See picture below.) Triumph has two leather embellishers. One attaches with adhesive and the other attaches with a pin or pins. But the product info on the Triumph site gives very little details. I contacted Triumph but didn't get an answer to my questions.
First, if anyone has one of these, could you tell me their dimensions?
Also, my windshield bag is real leather that I treat every once in a while with leather honey so I'm not confident the adhesive version would work. I can remove all the leather oil with a solvent but the embellisher would go on the top of the bag which flexes when opening and closing so I doubt if the adhesive version would work anyway.
That brings me to the version that attaches with a pin or pin (Triumph just mentions "A" pin.) Does anyone have one of these or has anyone seen one? The reason I ask is I can't imagine a single pin holding the embellisher in place so it doesn't rotate out of place. Two pins would be needed for that. Also, does the pin or pins hold it tight to the leather? Lastly what type of pin is it? I need to know because I don't want whatever it probably attaches to on the inside of the bag to be scratching up the contents of the bag. If the pin is of a type that leaves nothing sticking out inside the bag I could probably use it AND add some adhesive. If the "pin" is actually a screw that screws from inside the bag into the embellisher, that would be fine.
This is a trivial question, of course, but I appreciate info from anyone who owns one of these.
BTW, I do own the adhesive version (a different part from the leather embellishers) that goes on the passenger footrests and that works fine but attaching it to flexible leather would be a different matter.
