I was planning on getting some better shocks but wasn't sure if the rk shocks would fit with the Harley rigid saddlebags. Does anybody know if I would have problems mounting the bags with the air socks installed?
You can probably just use spacers to move bags out a little.
Fat tire... fat tank... fat headlight too?

Thanks. I guess I can figure it out when I actually get the bags. Im not sure how the headlight compares to other sportsters, it doesnt seem that big IMO.

Im not sure if it fits in the sportsters housing (everything I read about it, talks about it being inside a larger bike).
I was planning on looking into those remotes also. I have two bikes, a Harley & a Yamaha. Both Harley & Yamaha make a version, plus the aftermarket ones. I realized I already had a cheaper solution. Here's what I do for remote garage door opener. I just use a carabiner to clip a remote to my belt loop. As I'm getting close to the garage, I reach back & click it. By the time I get the the garage, I just roll in. The remotes are around $20 to $40.
