Default Is it a Bagger?

Starting to do a little work on my wifes Sporty. Putting a windshield, engine guard, mustang seat and eventually some saddle bags on it. So my question is this. Do you call it a bagger? Is she gonna start hanging out in the Touring section?

Add in some Progressive fork springs and shocks and she'll be comfortable touring with you wherever you go. As to the 'touring section', I doubt she'll find much love over there. That Sporty bias lives on.

That would make it a baggette. Or maybe a baggie?

"Pocket Bagger" is what my Sporty used to be called.
