Those are Thrashin Essential bags. They also make a larger version called the Escape bags. The are removable just lift off seat and undo the Velcro straps underneath
that is wild. How long to install/remove? Literally Velcro and the seat hold them on eh? Def got my attention now. I have a leather bag mounted to the fender but dont like how I cant remove it if I dont want it on.

Initial install is mounting a small bracket under the seat struts on each side. That took about 15 minutes. 10 minutes of that time was opening a beer and finding the right size torx bit. Lol
Does anybody make a nice exhaust system for these bikes yet? I honestly like the stock exhaust because the bronze and aluminum colors break-up the paint scheme. Black exhaust looks too dark on these bikes and chrome looks out of place. The stainless isn't bad, but every one I've seen isn't dual walled so they blue and bronze unevenly. Plus, a lot of the exhaust systems for this bike are short and we all know this engine prefer long pipes.
Fitted the Saddlemen Renegade Solo seat and the HD Holdfast Sissy Bar standard height. Seat is a bit lower and firmer, feels good so far. Sissy Bar unfortunately "resonates", totally noticeable at low speeds, kind of getting used to it now but a shame really, you'd think it would be designed to be solid. Do the permanent fix Sissy Bars do this ?

After that on and off in 2 min or so.
Have a set on their way to me. You mount them between the fender and the fender bracket ya?
Hi jato. No scraping. It is a two brothers racing exhaust. (TBR ) . Only thing that has scraped so far is the 80 grit foot pegs will have to put that little metal pin in bottom of peg.. and sounds good as well can not fault it .

That is what the instructions say but it's way way too tight in my opinion. I mounted them outside the fender support using a black nylon washer to prevent the bracket from scratching the fender support. Others have mounted it the same way. On my bike the fender to fender support bracket is tight when fully screwed in. You could loosen both sides (two bolts up front and two in the back 4 total) and slip it under, but I was concerned about ending the fender in when tightening it all up AND scratching the fender by having the bracket in contact with the fender.
No issues for me mounting outside the fender bracket though plus much easier to remove if needed. I never take the bags off so no worries about it showing.
