Oh yea and the Imzz ones come with the saddlebags supports built in, no cutting your own up and having a weakly supported bolted joint. I’m sure they would trim the supports off for you before sending yours to powdercoat.

Lol. Chicken strips. I have not heard someone talk about chicken strips since my first bike. Back when impressing others was cool, but ill bite. This sleds peetty much highway riding, burnout practice and wanna be clutch up wheelie attempts. But ypur right, i should focus on my chicken strips to ensure i get brownie points when im parked at starbucks

if you look at the wear pattern on your rear tire, you can see what part of tire your ising and usually on bikes not leaning fully. There is a defined line of rubber.

So basically if your not using your entire rear tire then you have chicken strips, cause your to chicken to lean the bike over fully.
