I like to look. I've contemplated going with hard bags. What brand are they?
I like THE look.

I prefer the extended hard bags but those are very cool and practical

Looks great. Was considering but glad to see the outcome. Checkout the rear indicators lights. Part 68615-04. Changing the front ones takes a bit of skill & patience.

That is the Kuryakyn AirMaster Deluxe Fairing with Sony DSX100 Reciever I bought from Motocycle superstore..I would not recommend, I had to do ALOT of altering, esp with the deck that comes with it. I posted a thread sometime last year in here on it... had to replace twice. I love the look just should of gotten a better deck for the money I paid...It was not made for a bike, kept shutting off. I ended up getting one off crags list, works perfect.

no I did not have to change exhaust...they sit high enough..and the bracket that came with is is a really good 4 hole steal bracket. I still have to load the down and see how they do.

I did have to remove my belt guard, the low bag kept hitting it on bumps, I removed and clears the belt, no issues
