I was checking out an FLD today, and compared to a touring rig nearby the FLD bags look to me like they are roughly 2/3 the size? I think the bike could fit enough stuff for a solo rider to tour with, but two up may need some more capacity added somehow.

Nightstick 2 in 1 slip-on muffler

Engine guard

Highway pegs and mounts

XM Radio (moved over from my old bike)

There was a lot of interest in this model at the dealer today so they should be able to move some of these once they can get more delivered.

Parts should come in later next week.

congrats on the bike, when you have a spare moment, would it be possible to measure the length of muffler please, considering this bike myself and was wondering if them ebay retro 32'' fishtail mufflers would clear the bags..thankyou.
