Default Leather Bags & Grips - 04 XL883C Finally Done!

Had to add a few more bits to get her finished. The leather side bag holds a 13mm 4 foot Pragmasis security chain but very little else so I added a Highway Hawk tool bag to the left side. The grips were getting tired so they've been upgraded to "Get-a-Grip Magnums" and a drinks cage with 0.6L bottle now sits at the front of the frame. Satnav is hardwired, luggage rack installed and a few other bits but she's now officially finished and ready to ride.

I like that! How does the bag attach? Straps? I am going with the Get-a-Grips myself. I have had them on other bikes and like the feel.

Yes, 3 straps on the main bag and two on the tool bag. I really like the Get-a-Grips, too and the extra diameter of the Magnums really feels right and I'm hoping will help combat hand fatigue.
