As previously mentioned, HD has some detachable bags and a bolt-on kit. The rear tailights will also need to be relocated and it moves them back toward the rear license plate about 1-1 1/2". You can also add keyed locks to help deter the curious since without them, the bags are very easy to remove. When I don't have the bags on, I also have the "black" magnetic covers over the mounts.

The new-mini catalog I checked out at the local dealership even shows a new detachable "tour pak" if you really want to load up the bike.

Thanks. Believe it or not, they are standard Fat Boy bars PC'd flat black. The risers are HD 4.5" fat risers.

Just ordered my PCV from FuelMoto and SE Heavy Breather from DrVtwin. I'm pumped since riding weather is right around the corner. Will I notice a big difference with this stuff? I'm planning on cutting the baffles in half in my pipes for a different sound too.

I put a power commander and a Roland Sands Venturi breather on my 2010 FB Lo and you can see the difference. It runs really well in colder weather. I had the cut baffels in my SE's but took them out and put in a set of Thunder City Baffels-wanted the Monsters but they would not fit my pipes so had to go with the newer QQ's-sounds better than the cut stock baffels and cost way less than a new set of pipes.

Agreed...The Big City Thunder QQ baffles are awesome. I have them in my V&H Short Shots too

Hi all, just joined, I've bought a '11 Lo but unfortunately won't be riding it until sometime in the Summer due to my current vacation to Afghanistan. Loving the pictures and the ideas.
