Hey all. I am considering adding a ST to my lineup. I test road one a couple days ago and used the excuse that I wanted a black one (vs. the GG one they had in stock) to talk myself out of buying it on the spot and give myself more time to think on it.
It’s a nice bike, quick enough stock, but I can’t get past the lopsided bags. I originally thought I’d just get a sport glide right bag when I pulled off the factory pipes for my usual 2:1 when I went for a good cam, but realized that while the SG bag is bigger then the ST right bag, it’s STILL smaller then the left.
Has anyone seen any solution? Or will it have to be “scrap the HD bags and get aftermarket’s”?
Please don’t lecture me about the warranty, I know, and I just don’t care.
Thanks!

the jd’s are wrench off. Very easy install. They come in flat like finish, they do require paint. I went with the slims. If you look at natural gasser’s he has the full size. Well if you do come back iam sure it will be a great build like all your others!

I just picked up an El Diablo. #49/1500. wasn't planning on it. walked into local dealership for a set of LED's and walked out $30k lighter. But i couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy it.
My one criticism is that HD has yet to come out with either LED lights to work with the REAR signals or a harness to convert rear signals into running/stop lamps. this is their hottest bike in years. why don't they have the accessories ready to go? that's where they make most of their money! Hopefully by spring time...

You just have to change mufflers... find the slip-ons you prefer. But right now you'll get engine light permanently lit; Since I used a FP3 on my old harley I got in touch with guys donw ad Vance&Hines and they told me that the tuner for this bike is the FP4 but right now it's NOT compatible either with 117ci engines nor EURO5 models...
So we basically preatty ****ed up here in europe. Your best bet is findind an EURO5 compliant solution.

Don’t insult me, please. My level of OCD is far beyond that of a normal human. Or even a normal Harley owner. Literally, I won’t ever get over it until it’s resolved, Especially once a 2:1 in on there. Which will be immediately after the 1k service, which is usually within a week or so.
I saw some hard Viking bags which look ok, then also saw some bags by JD Customs they are a candidate also. My only concern is having to wrench them off to remove them. I really like the leatherpros mounting system like ai have on my Dyna, but leather bags just won’t look right I don’t think.
Hmm…

For the ST, I back it into the garage so that I never see the bags when getting on or sitting on it. (Day 3 of ownership and I still have not ridden it).
In all seriousness, I'm sure some aftermarket hard bags will become available at some point. I too thought the uneven bags would be a deal breaker, but I bought it anyway.
