Here's a pic with current touring farkles for one's bemusement. Of note --
1. Windvest screen. More curves than Beyonce. Works like a charm now that I have it adjusted.
2. Kriega 20L bag, perfect fit for passenger seat.

It was a tossup whether or not to get the windscreen, but it does make duking it out with the semis on the 5 a bit more tolerable. That's how it'll look if you're wearing a full face helmet. If you're wearing an open face helmet, or none at all, it'll be sitting more upright.

Makes the bike look kinda pissed off, don't it. Like my cat.

This is, literally, the most fun thing I've ever owned. It's up there in the most fun things I've ever experienced, in the top five I would say. I keep find myself coming back to Hunter Thompson's review of the 1995 Ducati 900SS. I owned one of those and the inside joke is, it appears he never actually rode the thing. The article is probably about the Vincent, I presume, but it's not about the Ducati, a bike that seems sensible in comparison to what I'm riding now. I scared the bejeebus out of a horse the other day, he looked at me in terror, I could see the whites in his eyes as he froze briefly before running away in a panic, and I felt bad about that but only for a little while, because this bike makes you feel like you really are that much of an *******. I was out bombing through the delta on a spectacularly crappy road today, where the speed limit was 50 for sane people, but I was not sane. Whoever thought this bike was a good idea was both sadly wrong, and dreadfully right. I've named this bike "GYAAAHHHH" which suits it, I think. It is one of my finest addictions. And it turns.

Default 18 fxlr luggage mount

John, thanks for the forward control parts list. I'm going to mod my bike next week.
Has anyone found or made a tail mount for a top case or truck for the 18 fxlr?
HD only has sissy bars and luggage rack for the lockfast system.
