Great advice man... yeah I'm planning out the next set of changes/upgrades for her but it's sooo hard to decide where to spend the money haha.

Just got new tires so my fat spoke wheels are a bit hard to convince the wife of right now lol.

I'm thinking stretched bags, paint, and shotgun air ride.. and then we'll see from there.

Stretched bags fell in my lap yesterday! Time to start planning pinstriping and paint (keeping big blue pearl though)

I've also got some modification to do to get the bags to fit better and sit a little bit lower. They're on for now, but just need to refine fitment.

Looks good! How much stretch did you go with the bags? And how long are your Samsons?

Samsons are 36 inch Fishtails. The bags are the 4" inch stretched bags.

And thank you! This has been my pandemic project... at least one of them. The other projects are the honey do's that aren't so fun.
