I don't have any concrete knowledge of your kidney belt or it's history. From looking at the engraving that you call gargoyles, and you say the belt is vintage. I'm guessing the gargoyles may be "Gremlins", that was term used by air corp troops during the second world war for those unexplained things that made machinery go awry. Again I'm no expert there either but you may want to search along those lines, as I understand pilots,other troops and motorcycles kinda made a unique synthesis after the war. Or not. Good luck with the search

As I stated in a previous post--This is a modern, off the rack weight lifters belt that has been tooled, decorated, etc. No WW2 item, no 1% item, and no real worth---Other than to the buyer

As one who dabbled in powerlifting back in the 80's, I can testify that Michael is correct - it is a modern weightlifting support belt. It is a very nice one, beyond a doubt, but not an antique motorcycle accessory, H-D or otherwise. Still, if it fits you, wear it with pride because it is certainly unique.

Back a bit in this thread it was asked when the winged Bar and Shield first appeared.
The attached page from the HD accessory catalogue that is dated 1st May 1930 would seem to prove that 1930 is the year that the Winged Bar and Shield appeared.
