Default XBones bags installed
I like the HD XBone bags.

Kind of surprised me initially because I have always liked the minimalist route. I think you can go too far with this type of bike. The challenge is to hit the sweet spot. I think I am almost there.

Probably going to black out the rest of the motor, re-locate the headlight to the lower shock bolt, add a skull & xbones derby cover, and call it done!






If I lose my mind, maybe I will try some Ness "Bones". Only $2000 per wheel!
