CMC,
It's actually easier than that...The formula is one simple step:
"BUY BAGGER"
I have both and wouldn't dare bastardize my sporty with bags and shield....It's best in pure form with a few horses and lots of noise added.

What was the question
all kidding aside, the shield is the quick release, the sissy bar sideplates are detachable, and the bags are throw over, so in about five minutes it can go from looking like it does above, to looking like a normal ole sportster
the only thing is it has the saddlebag supports sticking out like in this pic
that is the beauty of owning a sportster, it can be seval motorcycles in one

Does this qualify as a "Sportster Bagger?"

JohnE, yours is real close as to the one in the magazine article as I remember. Only difference, the scooter and I believe all attachments were white.

For anyone who may be interested, I stopped by the local grocery store today and wondered over to the magazine rack. The March issue of a magazine called "Hot Bike Baggers" has a 4 or 5 page article along with pictures on converting a Sportster into a bagger. Just thought I would pass this on.

My wife calls hers a little bagger and she loves to be able to haul all her crap around with her.

You don't need to do a "conversion". Just buy removable bags. You can put the whole LeatherPros set on, or take it off, in about 5 minutes.
Add another 30 seconds to take off the detachable windshield.

I like my bags and shield. Bags stay on all the time and shield comes off for the warmer weather. Also got the Tombstone and Grantour bags that can go on the back end (no pics with those yet).
