Two questions
1. Anyone using quick detach saddlebags thst are compatible with the quick detach backrest?
2. Anyone have a small bag system they like, like a solo bag or swingarm bag. Looking for something smallish. I prefer the look of the bike without bags, but need a place to store a jacket for rides that start cold in the morning.

I don't normally ride any longer than that anyway.

I just wanted a sportbike for when I'm in that mood and I've always liked the Super Hawk. The v-twin in it sounds amazing and has such a nice torque curve.

Ordered the Leatherworks 103. Very pleasant to do business with. I'll put up pictures when they arrive.
