Triumph Buckles

belts for vanguard138

post #195 by vanguard138--"Who makes a good quality leather belt to put these on?"

i was in mackinaw city in late june--on the main drag there is a bar called the 'keyhole'--on the same side of the street and i think two doors away is a great shop that has good quality straps and many buckles--i don't remember the name of the store--i have been there several times over the years--straps are $26.00--below is a picture of straps that have come from that store--if you are ever in mackinaw city it would be worth your time to stop--two of the triumph buckles came from there--ride safe--bill

For a good leather belt, I've been vewy, vewy satisfied with
SCHAAF SADDLERY AND LEATHER WORKS!! Seems like they are in Ohio! Nice older gentleman and he doesn't mind talking if you call them either! lol Checkout that website!
 
Don't now about America but over here you can go to any leather supply store and buy 2" wide blanks. All you have to do is put on 2 press studs to hold the bukle on and punch a hole in the other end in the right spot so it's a nice fit around your no doubt trim mid section.
 

Thanks, it is on the way to the UP. I will drop in if I can figure out when I am getting out of here for Copper Harbor and other points.

You mean something good comes out of Ohio? . Will take a look at their website, thanks.
 

Or 2 foot of that orange Telstra rope .. don't even need to punch holes in it. Double sheep-shank and you're in business
 
My 3 buckles arrived today, they are fantastic, thanks Skip ,I couldn't be more pleased.

I'm sure the recipients in New Zealand of 2 of my delivery will be just as pleased,

Thanks again,
