I think I have some sad news...

Talking with the wife (again), and I've decided to take on a new project, and to make room the LRS will be leaving tomorrow. Pulled off the tall shock, the bags, the fairing, seat, levers, and LEDs last night. Bittersweet, but I'm excited to start a new project.

Picking up a super base model 2019 Street Glide (with the 107) for a super good deal from a reputable dealer. We want to put miles on the bike together this year before going for baby #3 next year, so rather than letting her suffer through the summer on the back of my LRS, we wanted another touring bike.

I laid out my long-ish term plans for it, and she was cool with all of it.

Nothing to be sad about. You're still riding and it sounds like you're making a decision based on need rather than emotion. The baggers are great bikes.

What bags were you running?

Took a ride up Hwy 97 yesterday to the Veterans Memorial Park.
Paid respects to a local badass.

That OH-6 had to be over gross weight just carrying his gonads.

Put on a swingarm saddlebag that doesn’t touch the fishtails. I can easily run my hand under the bag. Not the best pics, it will do the job.
