Default Calling All Sportster Baggers...Post Pics of your Bagger

If you have a Sportster Bagger, please share your pics. Would like to see what kind of baggers are out there and what you did to your ride. I realize "baggers" are more common in the touring world, but just checking the Sporty community in hopes of finding a new generation of Sportsers and bringing this specialized group together to collaborate and share ideas.

Here is my Sporty Bagger...2011 Sportster Low XL1200L

Thank you. Just testing the waters to find those with similar rides. Not sure if there are too many Sportser baggers.

This is mine for now. It is completely stock with just the bags added (just bought it that way). It will look a little different in the spring.

I baggerized my 883. It looked nice and was super comfortable but became boring. Ended up selling it.

Any pictures of the brackets without the bags? Curious as to what brackets were used. Did you do it or was it like that when you bought them? Look good.

No but it is a quick release bracket that came with the saddlebags. I installed it myself. Relocated the turn signals. The only issues I encountered was the distance of the bolt to the tire since I dropped the bike 1" with Burly Slammer Kit (from 11.5" shocks on the stock XL1200L to a 10.5" Burly with lowering fork springs). Had the lowering fork springs installed by a certified mechanic. I also had to change the bolt for the saddlebag mounting bracket since I also have HD quick release mounts for my HD sissy bar and backrest (not shown in pics..customizing my 2-up seat).

Here is my used 2011 Sportster Low XL1200L stock...how I bought it. Already had aftermarket slip-ons.
