Bob,
These canvas leg shields were used only on WLC's and not the WLA's as the WLA's used metal leg shields.
One other thing these leg shield restrict the air flow to the engine cooling and I wouldn't recommend using them in warm weather. These shield were only used in winter cold weather in the service.
I can ask over at the Facebook WLA /WLC page if you still want a set of reproduction canvas shields as most WLC are over in Europe.

Re: canvas covers crash bars
i had the metal leg shields on my 1932 VL, and i only had the soft covers on my 1948 FL. all the pics i have found of WLA's don't show the soft covers. i doubt if dave has ever made a pair, but weebee webbing would be a good place to ask, if he would tackle it for you. unbolt the crash bars, and send them to him. he could make them to fit.
