Calling All Sportster Baggers...Post Pics of your Bagger

Nice!
Hey did you repaint it or use it as it came?
My bikes the sierra red - wonder what my chances would be of finding a good rattle can match in Krylon for plastics?
(although if it's black it wouldn't look bad either.)
I'm really leaning towards grabbing that fairing and some new bars for my winter project!
If you ever get a minute in the next couple months, to take a few more pics (like front on, sides, back) and post them here, it would be much appreciated!

Finally completed my install of the Antigravity 16 cell Lithium CCA480 small case battery. Check out the size difference. Fraction of the stock battery weight. Was able to hide some wires on the side of the battery. Started it up and wow, literally no hesitation.
This is not a pic of the final install but just to give you an idea. Modified that terminal cover so it lays flat on the posts, used velcro to secure the main fuse/ECM harness directly to the battery, and used a zip tie to secure the battery to the compartment instead of using the stock bracket.

@BensonUK - I agree. hsgsn's ride is one of the nicest sporty baggers I've seen...very inspirational. Does not even look like a sporty. Like how the fairings fit the bike....it does not look out of place.
I found a vendor selling new MS batwings with 7" headlight, choice of windshield, and mounting hardware on ebay for a little less than $550 (not including shipping) which is less than if you purchase elsewhere. So just considering it....I'd say about $1000 investment with custom paint and pin striping to match the rest of my bike.

well I have just ordered the fairing and hard bags from Tsukayu.
I was going to fit the streetbob version and change the headlight module as well but they were reluctant to sell be the streetbob fairing with sportster mountings as they said it wouldn't fit
I think it is the tank swap on hsgsn's bike which changes the look most away from a sportster

Not sure about the fairings....let us know how that works out for you. You may be right about changing the look by changing the tank. Good luck with your install. Ride safe!
