18 Fatty- Can someone tell me what NON HD swing arm bag they recommend? All the ones I see are either $200+ or don’t say if they fit properly. I just need some small item storage but really don’t think it should cost as much as what HD wants.

Ok, so I wasn't quite done with the Slim Got a good deal on a Motherwell 7" luggage rack. Just put it on. I think it compliments the look of the bike and gives an extra place to bungee net jacket liner/hoodie or whatever that doesn't fit in the swing arm bag.

I wanted to add a bit more black to the bike while still keeping some chrome trim accents so I swapped out the headlight ring with the HD Defiance Machine cut one and added the HD Defiance Machine Cut Guage bezel. I also swapped out the chrome gas cap and decorative cap with the HD Black Flushmount ones. I'm definitely happy with the way it turned out and all of it was super easy to DIY. Here are some before and after pics.
