Bummed out with My Clean Bob

You guys got this all wrong...All I meant was that I worked hard to set it up with great looking accessories and at the end I felt like maybe it was getting too "clean looking"...I guess when you ask for opinions you take your chances.
For the guys who wanted to know about the parts, the pipes are Bub Lakesters 2 into 1. Bub is out of them but Westend Motorsports has them. They are loud when you open it up but not so bad my neighbors are giving me dirty looks.
The solo bag is from Garage Leathers and its really well made, thick leather that I'm sure will last forever...that is unless it flies off the bike because of the way it mounts. The top mounts with canvas straps to the fender supports but the bottom mounted to the chain guard support and that has been a problem. I emailed Rob at Garage Leathers about it and he never responded so take your chances...for a $250 solo bag its not cool that they leave you hanging.
The issue is that the strap and numerous zip ties keep snapping, getting cut by the vibrations. I currently have a metal zip tie wrapped in black electrical tape to keep it from cutting the leather loop. I left it pretty loose to give it play also...I'll let you know if it works any better...I might post its own thread actually with photos to see if you guys have any better solutions...
Thanks to all who gave me real suggestions. To everybody who razzed me, may the juiciest **** fly in your neighborhood hit you square in the face on your next ride lol...
