Default Hard bags on my softail
Been working on this project since Feb. Finally got it done and the bags on the bike. All in all an easy job. Painting was the chore because I learned as I went. Had to do one bag over. But I got it down now.

Heres some pics if your interested. http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/h...nbags030-1.jpg


Used cyclevisions Bagger Tail Bag Mounts.

That looks great. I thought about doing that myself before I settled on the leather bags. Good Work.

I finnished my winter project updating my 01 fatboy and the last thing left is putting the same system on it, but I am stuck between hardbags and leather ones, not sure which to use
