The running gear is from an E39 5 series BMW.
Still very capable running at 80mph. Cindy hasn't admitted if she has gone any faster.

Have you seen this one ?

There is also the Yamaha N I K E N, but it wont stand up on its own (yet)

I know the axle in front is supposed to be safer, and handle better, but they just look odd to me. I looked st their kits, and the Harley, just looks really strange.

Andy,
Yes, not quite as easily, but only maybe 10 seconds longer to detach. The only change to removing the bags is to disconnect the wiring. Even that is simple. This is not the link but is the style of connectors I used.

I bought a set that has 2,3 and 4 wire connectors. I used 3 wire for this and will use 2 wire for turn signals, if I do them.

The wire next to the silver **** in post #11, pic 2, are the LED wires. The **** takes longer to unscrew than disconnecting the wires.
