Default Bagged or No Bags? Fat Boy

Polished her up for a benefit ride tomorrow. This is the first I've taken off the bags so I snapped a couple pictures.

So, you like her bagged or not?

Streamlined!



Back rest:




Bagged!



Miscellaneous.

Tom from http://harleygoodies.com/ here. I prefer your bike without bags and the backrest as well. Keep her stripped down.

Regards,

To each his own, but on my Fatty, I always kept everything off unless I needed it, including the passenger pillion. To me, the solo seat, stripped down look was my favorite. Add the other stuff if necessary.

Unless you're going to have a passenger or a need for the luggage, I vote for ridin' nekid -- no bags, no backrest.

BTW, nice ride. I love your wheels.

No bags, no backrest, lower the rear about an inch or two and you will be good to go!

Cool

Thanks guys and LMAO at kccustom. IF I didn't have this benefit ride tomorrow (wife is going with), I'd leave her nekid. I even was looking at taking the passenger seat off. I didn't realize how easy it was. Easy as well to take off the quick disconnect bags and backrest too.

Thank you, I'm getting tons of compliments on them. Love the solid ones but I'm loving these more.

I like the look without bags or backrest. But you have the option, which is always good to have.
