when i bought my lowrider, i knew i was gonna paint it, i hates the flames, but i could live with them cos of the rest of the bikes upgrades bein the thing that mattered most.

this week i recieved my saddlebags from leatherup, which came to £51 including shipping from the USA. Way cheaper than any other bag on the market, and as far as i can see, extremely well made. I attached my quick detach brackets (which are remaining a secret for the time being due to potential patenting), and im very pleased with them.

i also bought a sat nav socket to hardwire into the battery but i havent fitted that yet.

so heres the pics.

this is how it started


this is after stripping it down



this is the test fit of the bags




i decided to strip and paint the tank strip too
