Congrats and nice color! Got the same bike a month ago. Going a different route. But that is why everyone makes it their own.

All the bags are good quality, I am going to order the Hog Deluxe springer bags myself, talk to Dr. V-twin, he will get you a good deal. He has treated me right and can get just about any brand or product you want.

Thanks, what made you decide on the color? I had a hard time deciding.

First time I saw it in the sun. Had them roll both the Vivid black and the Root beer outside and once that was done it was over. The Root beer is insane looking in the sun.

Good luck with the new bike! like others on this forum said, you will likely go with new pipes eventually so do it before you get the bags. I did the Boss 40d and they are great, but if you buy some now and then change pipes later you just end up spending more money. But then that's part of the charm!
