I know many have tried to make a bagger bagless and some look good but most look like sh**--JMO.

The reason I did is cuz I can't afford a bagger AND a non-bagger so I figured I would ride one year with bags and the next year without. It would only take me a couple hours to put bags on if I needed to for trip or whatever.

Anyways, here's the pics without all the rails and modified side covers.
