I think it was because the first guy to install all that stuff on his bike was named Chester Drawers. Since he didn't think it would sound good to call his bike a Chester, he decided to call it a Dresser. I would swear that this is a true story unless I just made it up.

RE: Dresser?
I'm guessubgit's a carry over from the military. They had several different uniforms depending on the duty to be performed. The term "full dress" referred to the top of the line uniorm, usually for parades, ceremonies, etc (all the bells and whistles). As a bagger was fully dressed out you end up with - - full dress (just my guess)

RE: Dresser?
Is this a legitimate question? If so, the term "dresser"is a shortened verson of the term "full dressed", meaning it camefrom the dealer with every available option on it (like a fully dressed sandwich)....windshield, boards, saddlebags, , crashbars, stereo, etc.I still haven't figured out when the term changed to "bagger", or why. Every time I hear the term bagger, it reminds me of theold one bagger or two baggerjoke.

Just a guess. No data to support but kind of makes sense.
