Thumbs up Lick's tool and solo bag photoshoot w/ Nightster

Might as well be a photoshoot with all the pics I took lol. My bags came in today and man did that box smell good opening it up! The quality is top notch. Well worth the price IMHO. I decided to use some black electrical tape to wrap around my frame and swingarm section where the straps go for the solo bag just to be safe from chaffing. I think I'm going to also run a small section of tape on the underside of the battery cover just in case the bag rubs against there. You can't see the tape so I'm not concerned lol.

Anyways here are a bunch of pics I took. Let me know what you think.

Great look, that's my favorite color scheme for the Nightster--just match the seat and you'll be smokin'!!

Thansk guys!

I think the look will come together nicely once I relocate the ECU and get this seat...

Looks great, I'm a fan of mine. The only thing I'd like to see on that bag would have been the buffalo nickels. I think they're just a nice touch.

Looks awesome. The only tip I will give (since you are worried about the paint rubbing) is that the tool pouch below the headlight will probably hit the front rim. on big bumps. You wouldn't think so, but I have a nice spot that I didn't notice until it was too late, and I've heard from others that have had their rims dented.
I keep mine above the headlight now, and it hasn't caused any more issues... IDK if it will fit on the nightster like that, but I've seen others that put them between the frame down tubes too. Just a heads up for you (the nightster suspension may be different, hopefully a nightster owner with a fork bag chimes in).
