What does everyone think about having hard bags on a Heritage Springer? The Heritage has a classic look, but im not really into making everything nostalgic, or stock looking bikes. And i really do not like the looks of soft bags. Im thinking about stretched hard bagging my scooter, along with some 16 inch apes, and a 21 inch front wheel?

Whats your thoughts, be them good or bad?

 

I've been kicking around the idea of putting a set of hard bags on mine. If you do it post a pic so's I can see how it looks. I've got leather one's on mine now but they just aren't big enough and I know I could pick up a set of Shovel era bags on ebay for a lot less than a good set of larger leather ones would cost.

This bike is almost the exact deal im looking for. Except i want smaller apes, my pipes are shorter, and im planning on going a lil more "rat"

 

Let me know if you decide to go hard bags.....I have a set of cyclevision mounts I'll save you some $$ on.

 

Wow, I was just thinking abou this on my way in this morning to work. What would my bike look like with hard bags? More crazy is this is an exact paint of my bike (Deluxe).

Now I wonder what bags did he use???

 

only problem I would have is replacing pipes. They wouldnt stay on there long around here....

 

damn, that bike looks amazing.

 

Just my take on your project. I think the way to go would be the Road King Classic bags. 14 inch apes.......No 21 inch front wheel.

But as stated......Just MY opinion.

 

I really like that paint job. You could put pretty much any hard bag on your bike. The deluxe was the bike that i originally wanted to buy, but i fell in love with the springer.

Check out this bike, its exactly what i was wanting to portray when i was first looking for a bike.

has anyone decided to give the hard bags a try? i think they are going to be the next purchase... but it will probably have to be a christmas present.

if anyone has decided to go through with it, put them pics up!
