looks good, would like to see more pics of the back end.
Most bags look crappy on sporty's, your look more natural with the classic bag look.
nice job, I'd ride it!

Very nice and tastefully done.
Looks like it could be a factory model.

good job - looks great - there are a lot of senior riders that would like a smaller bagger weighting in around 500/600 pounds with good suspension! I also think HD missing the boat for not building an adventure bike with suspension and Jessie bags - HD have been letting BMW have all that business! I just don't understand everything i know

they do. its called the dyna switchback. apparently, they can't keep them on the floor, as soon as one comes in, it's sold. at least around here. though i do have to admit, i've never seen one actually on the road.....

good job, coloharleygirl. you can get really spoiled by the amount of room in those saddlebags. next thing you know, you'll be looking at a tourpak

I will post pictures of the back end once the saddlebag guards are done. I did look into filler panels but it overwhelmed the back end. There is a gap between the bags and the fender but I can live with it. The shocks are chrome which can be seen. If the shocks were black it would look better but I refuse to spend the money just to get the black.

I also really like the look of the baby bagger! Looks great, VERY VERY well done! Are those bags custom made, or something that can readily be purchased?

Sheepishly I have to admit I have been looking at a tourpak. I was considering the chopped/razor look but think it would be too big. I just may have one custom made.
