Rigid leather bags installed

I had to find a more comfy seat for longer rides and ended up with a Mustang Vintage "Wide" seat on the Springer.. New was $465 but found a dealer in the midwest with a brand new in the box that they ordered for a customer that did not pick up so I got it for $300

Seat is great but the look was a bit off on the simple looking bike due to the big width..
Solution was to add to the bags to balance out the look on the back of the bike..

HD wants $800 for a new set so I found the same set off Ebay for $400

They arrived in mint condition.. (lucked out)
They also arrived with mounting hardware for the detachable sissybar (lucked out again)
Well they did not look like any that I had seen before and so had to do some digging.. Turns out that they are "CycleVisions BareBacks"
At $169 a set, I think I lucked out yet again

So in under 10 minutes, I go from boulevard cruiser to something a lot more comfy for longer rides with a nice seat, bags and sissybar for the Mrs..

Icing on the cake was all for less than the price of new bags..
The "Barebacks" are a bit touchy on how you mount the female ends on the bags but a few tweaks and they should be golden..
