Default Added saddle bags
Some of the guys I know tried to talk me out of it, but I really wanted the saddle bags. I think they look sharp on it. Plus they are very functional. What do you think? Had it one week, added the bags and windshield plus put 400 miles on it. Didn't know I'd enjoy riding as much as I do.

Looks great. The first time I had to ask a friend if he could haul something in his saddlebag for me, I decided I needed saddlebags.

Looks good on your bike...I always say, bags and windshields are an individual preference...

My thoughts on my bike are that putting saddlebags or a windshield on a Night Train is like putting a sweatsuit on Angelina Jolie...it might make her more warm and comfortable, but WTF are you thinking?

They are HD bags. Figured it'd be easier for them to install them, don't know what it takes to void a warranty and I didn't want to chance it. Plus they match the seat!!
