New bags
Picked up some new hard saddlebags today from North Coast Thunder Bikes ... just the bags, though; I still need to get the mounting brackets and hardware for them. I got them in gloss black.
This adds urgency to my decision about what to do with my rear fender. At a minimum I think I'm going to copy JMPANCOAST's rear turn signal relocation concept. I'm still leaning toward something like Ackman1968 and Buscha ....
Photos (the white version) of my bags and paraphenalia below ....

Priest,
Hope your weather is turning out better than it has been around here recently.
Have you looked into the pancea taillight by kury? The turn signals are built into it, I am going this route here shortly. Just an idea. Are you going to make them quick release? If you are thinking about it, maybe take a look at Barebacks system. i am using it for my HD hard back bags and it is working great.
When you get them mounted, make sure to put out some pics!! Maybe this next summer we will be in the same area and meet. Good luck!!

You're East of the Cascades? Heard there was a lot of snow out that way ....
I've put over 500 miles on my bike this week .... The weather's been rather cold low 40's to low 50's in the afternoon.
I still need to pick up the brackets, but will post pics when done.

BTW, eastern side here has been nice in the afternoon. Unfortunately roads been frosted over on the way to work, and freezing fog on the way home.... so prudence takes me by 4 wheels.
I'm just hoping for a couple of hours riding time on Saturday afternoon.

Will get the pics up, but it'll probably be a few days till I get the hardware and everything mounted. I might try to mock them up, so you can get an idea of where I'm going with them.
