Love the transformation. I do not however agree with removing the bag rails as have heard at least one story where a bag fell off a bike on a highway and nothing was left of it.

How would one lose a bag, there are 2 sturdy bolts on each - just curious?

Looks Great!! I like to change the look of my bike quite often by changing from chopped to king tour paks, to a passenger backrest/rack to nothing hangin' off the back at all! Sure make these touring bikes look diffrent!

Isn't versatility grand? I love the flexibility. Though I don't notice the weight change all that much, I do get what you mean. Does look nice!

They are held on by 2 locking pins, not bolts...at least mine are.

One other thing i noticed when i took the 2-up seat off. There was some wear on the rear fender - paint was dulled.. HD doesn't make a fender bib - had to go to Mustang and get one.

Exactly. Here's my 99' with lots of the stuff stripped off.

Good looking bike, if my SO, didn't ride all the time, I would seriously consider doing the same. If you want to get rid of the air horn let me know. I could use it to keep the tourist in line around here.
