donmontalvo - that's a nice tach/speedo!

esteboatan - I'm 6'3" forward controls are a must. I cramped up on the way home from the dealer so I tore it down that night and get the forward controls on by the next day. Much better!

Nice. You should put some 3M clear tape over your rear fender so your bags don`t leave rub marks.

I agree 100%. This is what I run on my FXDX.

Those are Tourmaster Coaster SL throwoverS in extra large. Once I get the 2-up seat, the harness can stay on and the bags zipper off each side. About $200. One bag can just hold an xl 1/2 helmet, gloves and goggles.

Nothing wrong with forwards as far as control/performance goes... I had the MoCo install forwards before I took delivery of the bike.

.. you'll never be done by the way... bwaahaaahaaaa...
