What has every body been happy with. I'm thinking about the windshield and the bags. Has every body been satisfied with the bags? And which windshield, the compact smoked one or the regular clear one. Eager to here feedback.


Thanks,

I've got detachable bags, but no windsheild. I just don't like the looks of a windsheild on the bike.

 

I like the bags, I'm not gonna go with the windshield. Take away from the looks. For me anywaz. I'm still on the drawing board of what more i'm gonna do. But good luck with what ever ya do.

 

Been thinking about doing both...

I mean I might as well... I just bought my first pair of gay ***-less chaps in my life...

Guess I'm just becoming pussified and can't take all the $hit I use to...

Go figure...

Are you freaking serious? chaps - gay?

Not sure what the weather get's like down there all year round but looking at it today you were still pushing 75 - 77.

Sorry bud but when I ride in 40 degree temps in the daylight I am gonna strap on some gay assless chaps so I can last longer than 10 minutes....

geeez... hard core bikers.

 

No bags, never really used them on my last bike that much, a tall sissybar bag is fine for trips. I did go with the low profile windshield, for me it is a must for trips and cold weather. The low only comes to my chin which is perfect for me, I don't like looking through it but makes trips more enjoyable.

 

I went with the HD XBones bags and the tall detachable windshield. I like them just fine. I do want to get a quick detach system for the bags however, it just makes cleaning the bike so much easier being able to remove the bags easily. On the windshield, an old geezer biker I know told me once, if you are going to run a windshield then get the biggest most effective one you can...otherwise why bother. The taller windshield works great in the cold and on the interstates, etc. If I want to just run around town or shorter trips, it can come off in 2 minutes or less...best of both worlds. Just my 2 bits.

 

I don't have a Xbones but do have a Springer Classic and put a "Windvest" windshield on it and it works as good as the big Harley ones I had on it before but is about half the size and I think it would look good on a Bones. They retail for over $300.00 but I got mine on Ebay for $81.00. Don't see em too often for springers on ebay but they do pop up.

 

You can say people are gay for wearing chaps but when it comes down to it...they are great to have on the cold days!!! Plus I dont get shrinkage

 

I can't imagine buying a bike like this and putting either on it...if you want a bagger, buy a bagger...just my 02 which ain't worth much these days...
