You have a beautiful bike. I love the color and the rear fender is very clean without turn signals and the license plate set back. But, I'm not a fan of the single saddlebag. A swingarm bag is different due to it's size and location.

Speaking of location, your location says Southwest. You must be in Arizona because Arizona law doesn't require turn signals. New Mexico does.

Oh, you lost your right side mirror, too.

Thanks Bone Doc. Live in Southern Utah. I was thinking about having a little more room than a swing arm bag would have. Ill need to go on a all day ride and see if it works.

I like the look of just one bag.

The swingarm bags look to me like a ladies purse stuck on the side of the bike...

Both bags or none at all. Either way you’ve got a nice ride.
