I'm assuming that question was directed at me?? They are Viking bags I bought used off of eBay for 100.00. I modified them to sit lower. Problem with the softails IMO is the bags sit too high to dodge the axle nuts. Which to me looks like ***. So I made my own fixed bag mounts and dropped them a good 5 inches. Had to modify left bag to clear axle nut. Took a chunk out of the bag to make a cavity and boxed up the hole with hard plastic lining. Misses the nut and looks much more balanced.
It was, quoted the wrong thread. I figured you fabricated something on them. I have the same feeling on the bag size for softails. I actually went with la rosa swing arm bags. I have vance and hines shortshots on the bike, so I can do left and right side. Should be here on 5/11.
Well for those looking for more comfort on their slim S, I can now recommend the Mustang solo vintage seat with back rest. The foam is just right. Not too soft, and not too hard, like my Corbin's. The back rest is amazing. It takes so much stress away from your body during acceleration. You just lean against the back rest, and let it rip! The back rest is height adjustable, and can be tilted to suit your back, lean angle. I also had the windshield chrome parts powder coated black. I also had the shifter, and arm coated, and the rear brake pedal and license plate frame. Pics to follow.
Pipes and bobber style air cleaner cover are on. Tune is loaded from the PV. Some popping on decel but runs strong.
Love the look of your pipes. What model are those...or even better a part number. I have to order from USA so want to make sure I get the correct one. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Greg
Picture of the difference in provided rings....and an obligitory shot of my S in the Sun.
Will post some pictures this weekend up updates I have made to date.
Same issue here... did not notice until arriving from a ride and seeing that my headlight had rotated... I was going to try placing a rubber gasket inside the ring but using the stock one and just painting it black looks like an easier approach.
