I'd like to see how those look on a Dyna (in particular, a FL Dyna) ...

Todd, bossbags are good looking, no doubt. However, I'm not into all the fringe and concho look on that model you are suggesting. That one they have with the tooled lid is really nice, i think it was a 40 series? Also i talked with grants about his ironbags and he said he tried several mfgs. (including boss) and the ironbags were best overall quality in his opinion. So, I need to actually see both in person to decide. I'm glad you posted to me, your vision and mine for end look, is similar I think. Take care

Question: Do these little Switchback saddle bags make my **** look big?

LOL...Ce call them up and talk to Donna. Tell her i sent you. She is the one I've been discussing this with at ironbags and they are anxious to get rolling. Even if you didn't run them fulltime, it would be a very nice perk to have them don't you think? I mean with the weather issues you guys have to deal with, this could be productive downtime. Well, sure hope you do, they seem like good folks over there.

OK, I see i needed to look further at the site. There are all kinds of the #37 model. My first search only showed the fringed one. I see now what you mean. Yep, very nice.

with your obviously low IQ and your stupidity shines through with each and every comment you continue to make on the subject.

Actually I meant bitchy and winey....you started off with just the first but your need for the last word is really making the second part fit in right. Did the FLD jokes really make you like this? Kinda sad...for you I guess.
