To finish off I have added the Rokform phone holder which I 100% recommend.







Once we get out of lockdown there is a stage 1 waiting with V&H Big Radius pipes.
with dollars you can pay anywhere even if local currency is different. 1 buck wont take you far but looks cool. What is this tube you put it I kinda dig it.

Nice bag and the 1 dollar looks cool, but I wouldn't do it myself, draws unnecessary attention.

Sadly....at the 2,300 mile mark.....my FLHCS had to be hospitalized for leaking front forK. Even sadder is that I thought the hospital stay would be short, but instead found that because of new work practices and the onset of spring, it will be 2 weeks before I get it back. I’ve read up (a little) on this issue and will be anxious to see if it is a bad seal or overfilling. I will tell you this....when the leak started, it was like a flood....man...what a mess!!!

No worries....I’ll ride my FLHXS during the quarantine, and see what H-D has to say down the road.

And that is what I did to my softail today!!

I would guess the seal popped up out of the slider.

It’s my old UK road tax disc holder, perfect size. The 1 Dollar is personal joke but think it looks cool, it was on my Streetbob before for years and here in England no-one is going to care 😀. The bag is really nice, made in California, I had it shipped over, small but you can get the essentials in for a days ride out.

How did you mount this thing to the frame and can you send me a link where I can buy such a thing. I am intrigued here.
