That's just what I call them.

I didn't get the kitchen sink option on mine, is that special order? ? ? ?

Bagger is a bike that has bags on it, regardless if it has a undetachable trunk with a cb and cappucino maker. Dresser is that thing in my room with a mirror on it that my wife says its both ares, but have only 1 drawer.

I've always referred to the Ultra as a full dresser anything less on the touring side a bagger.

Bagger is a more recent term and, in the day, dressers did not have tour trunks, or fairings. 'Course I'm going by my senile memory. And starting in 1957 until this year or last, Sportsters were never considered "girls bikes".
