Default SG without bags?
Anyone running their SG without the bags? I saw a RK the other day without the bags (all mod up) and it was very cool. Just curious?

It's not the same set-up on the rear as a Roadking. With the bag braces, fender fillers, and other items on the back, it just doesn't look right.

I don't even like looking at mine in the garage without bags on just for maintenance. It is ugly under those bags.

If that's what you want get a dyna and add a fairing.. The sg looks incomplete without bags, like a car without doors

It's been posted before with the same results. Just get a Softail if you want that look. They make fairings for them.

Hey your bike do what you want.
Have I rode mine without bags? Yep, I take it to the dealer like that to get service work done. One less thing they have to deal with.
