My ulysses tailbag has started to rip at the little pocket that mounts it to the sissybar. Does anyone know a place that can repair heavy nylon like that? Or perhaps I'm just overthinking it and should go to any taylor? I seem to remember someone here posting contact info for a place that fixes stuff like that. | ||

Find a local cobbler shop (shoe repair). | ||
| Macbuell |
Duck tape? | ||

I have Buell luggage rebuilt by a cobbler from time to time. I've also had them fix things like the "el cheap" Ulysses under seat storage pack that the zipper breaks on the first use. I had a REAL zipper put in. They will do a great job. I've got 2 new Ulysses tail bags . . . I like's that much and it's a more important piece of Buell history than many folks know . . . but my goal is to keep rebuilding the one I carry with me everyday until I completely trash it. | ||

Hmm. I wonder if I take it to a cobbler, if they can enhance it with some fat leather. Thanks for the tips. | ||

Upholstery shops can do it too. | ||

Another option is an Awning Shop. | ||
