My first post in this forum. Hey, please don't bust my b*lls for being a bagger. My wife just got a new 07' Deluxe, really sweet ride. Question for you softail folks, What do you use to store your stuff, both small and big? First of all, stuff like sunglasses, lic, reg, insurance card, and maybe gloves. I know you can put saddle bags on these, but they look real good without them too. Pictures will help alot, thanks guys.
get a fork bag. If she has a windshield, a windshield bag. The other essentials that the ladies like to have, she will have to get one of those back pack style purses.
oops forgot, you're the one with the bagger.....guess what kind of chit your going to have in your bags.
I know the pic isn't the greatest, and its not a Deluxe but the ideas the same. I have the rack that I can strap things too and the tool bag on the front risers and another attached to the sissy bar. If I need more room I just grab an old backpack.
Anything too big for that I'll use my little pickup, it can handle really big things.
If your wife is like mine, she will want a windshield. A windshield bag is great for small items. For longer trips you might consider a back rest (removable or not) and pick up a T- bag style bag that attaches to your back rest. The deluxe comes with a small luggage rack. The t-bag can be mounted in the rear seat area and can be used as a backrest for the rider. Almost like riding a recliner down the road. Strap the other stuff to the rack. The rest goes in YOUR saddlebags.
I have 4 bikes, 2 baggers, a wideglide and a softail. I refer to the wideglide and softail as pocket bikes. Anyone that owns one, knows I ain't talking about the size of em'.
