Default Sunday Project
Well, I am planning a 3-4 day trip this Spring, and the question came up as to how "I was carrying the necessary items, Did I have saddle bags"? No offense to those that have them, but I just don't like Saddle Bags. Don't like the looks of the Windshield either, but I got one because Cold weather necessitates it, for me anyway. Well here once again I went to the Shop and got to work on some parts from PreWreck! A cut here, drill a hole there, Now I got a way to carry my stuff when making Road trips

yea bro, I cut a couple inches off the front end of the bracket. Wanted to "uncover" the POW banner and maybe, just maybe, packed full, that bag will be a back rest too!
