Have you all sued the Cycle Visions bagger tail kit? I'd love to do extended bags but that is the only way I would do it. I know that I would be scraping them on the ground in no time. Your bike looks sick! All of your in fact. I think i am getting a Leatherworks solo bag once my new license plate arrives.

ya, the baggertail is the easiest way to go, thought about doing the extended thing but i run way too many twisties, & i also didn't want to have to extend the fender to make it all look right

The fillers look great. Once I get this project done I will do the fillers for sure. The guy I got the bags from used the latch hardware on his new bags so I have to get all the latch stuff. I'm a little scared how much I'm getting ready to spend for that.

The guy I got the bags from has the outer shell from his RG. I have thought about it but I like the fact I can take the fairing off if I want to. Some times I like to ride without that Batwing.

I consulted the dealer and they told me there wasnt a kit. He priced everything individually for somewhere around $780. I said forget it. Found out later on HD does sell a latch kit for somewhere around $400. I got mine used on ebay for around $70. It may take awhile but you can get em for a reasonable price on ebay.

And dont forget the locks/keys if you go with the HD latches.. These are $40 for both but you can get em keyed to the ignition/fork lock too.
