Thanks for the compliment! Funny how the bags set the bike off. Wasn't planning on leaving them on all the time, but they really fit. Adds mass to that skinny ***-end. It'll do until I put a 240 on there, haha.

Thought I posted this here, but this is all the mods I've felt like doing. Only thing left is new paint and a new front rim...as far as I'm concerned...ok maybe big city thunder baffles, but that's it....

Boss bags. Yeah, new, they're pretty steep, but they're the best built/fitting bags I've seen. The whole thing is a thick fiberglass shell covered in leather, so it will always hold it's shape. Quick releases and all.

I pulled the studded Heritage bags off first thing when I bought the bike. Hate them (sorry guys!). Ironically, these Boss bags where the first/best thing I found, but I couldn't justify the cost. 1hellbent had these for sale and I just couldn't pass them up.
