I am trying to have others learn from my mistakes. I was hellbent on a bagger, (still kind of am) but no new bikes if i can't keep what I have.

As I was riding around yesterday I thought to myself that my bike kicks azz on a bagger any day of the week.

But, if you had saddlebags on you could put the trophies in them. LOL.

I say do the stretched bags and wide fender. No matter how finished a bike is, I just have to mess with it, so I get what your saying.

Heading out to the garage to get the bike out for a ride.....need to decide what to do next....order a set of stretched bags and fender or just ride it this way until I ever get divorced(hopefully in the next decade!)

Is your bike carbed??? If so I have a BRAND new never been mounted tank that you need! This way you can keep all of your original tins and have the others modified/painted!

lol...looking to make some cash on the way thru

No more fat spokes for me, I need something different...totally different! More and more people are getting them now, and I need to be a little odd. Maybe Sinisters???

Those sinister billet daddys are sweet! You have air ride? If not how about a shot gun? If so, do some custom work to those tins.

Already have an air ride I am happy with... I do have another set of tins???? Other than extended the fron a couple inches and the rear about 4 inches, I am not sure I would like the tank stretched????

Is it the pearl white on the tank? I can't tell in photos. Only in light is when I see mine.
Let me know if you ever come to lake fork again.
