Default I pulled the trigger...
On a set of hard bags today. They are going to have to be painted and I am going to have to get some Cycle Sounds lids for them so I can put my speakers in them as well. I figure in about 6 months I should have this project completed and on my ride. I asked the wife what i should do. She told me to buy her a Tron t short and I could do whatever i want. $16.95 and I was home free. LOL.

I decided against extended bags as I don't want to deal with the possible scraping issues knowing teh type of riding I do most of the time.

I will also be selling my RKC bags with the Cycle Sounds speakers bezels in them once this whole project is completed. Once again, I have to change something else. I just can't be happy with what I already have. too funny. Here are the bag lids I need to get.

There are a few other options for saddlebag lids that I will look into as well, but I plan on sticking with Cycle Sounds as their stuff is top notch. Also knowing that this is what Paul Yaffe uses on his rides certainly helps.

Congrats! Wish I got off that easy since I just bought my bike. Wife is still making a list of her demands for me spending 6K more than expected.

What kind of hard bags you go with? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Yeah, I feel the same way, but why not? I really want a new bike to work on but that is so far out of the question right now that I have to do something to this one.
