As always, excuse the mess ... I kinda like a messy garage... it give my bike a "diamond in the rough" look with garage making up for the "rough" part ...







Looks like your changed your fairings for a windshield and replaced your headlight and auxilary lights. I see you got your air horn installed. Good to go!

Looks greats.... I like it.

Thanks! Yeah the new daymaker aux lights weren't fitting properly with fairing on. So had to change it to windshield. Also swapped out the solo seat with Sundowner 2-up as wife wanted to go for a ride. Air horn was added a couple of months ago actually and has been working out great. Definitely a recommended upgrade. All in all didn't do any major changes though ... just swapped a few things out with different ones. However I like the fairing and want to put it back on soon, so will be cutting the lower part of the fairing to make room for new bigger aux light housings. Will report back once that happens.

Many of the baggers on this thread have leather bags....doesn't matter what kind. We accept all...we are not picky...lol. We even welcome those who are "thinking" of putting bags. Ride free...no more backpacks!

I rode with a backpack before I had any of my saddlebags or my sissy bar. 30 minute commute every day with a gallon of water and food in there.... my back was killing me. Love my bags, got all kinds of goodies in there. I think if I needed to, I could easily add on a throwover set for long trips.

Looks awesome. You need to update your sig pic! I can resize and sharpen one if you need.

I'm so happy with my new bars so I'm posting this pic here too!
