I'm not sure if I am keeping it there though. It is a very nice bag, made by Shaun, but I think the iron cross may clash with the two crossed bones on the bag. Also, I think it might look a little too busy there. Maybe I'll buy a plain bag to replace it, or maybe I just have to get used to it.

Do you managed to fix the offset on the rear fender's supports?

Bike is looking great man,

Don't ditch it, b/c it looks good. If it's too busy, you could die it a darker red or black and have a more subtle aesthetic.

Thanks. I wouldn't say I "fixed" the offset, as much as I minimized it as much as possible. I ditched that sissy bar and had some strut brackets welded to the swing arm and put those Sucker Punch Sally struts on there. I still had the belt guard to contend with, so we put 2 subtle bends in the left strut. You dont see it unless you look from directly behind the bike, and there are no more spacers, so even then, it's not so bad. Here is a pic from behind so you can see what I mean:

That's actually a very good idea.

Shaun, if your reading this, what do you think? Can you die it darker?

Keep the bag, maybe darken the red to a more blood red. I want to see the other side with those upswept pipes!

Uh, ok. I just hope I'm not getting people tired of seeing my bike.
