No worries, there will be a couple more red accents added to the bike in the future to balance it all out.

Installed a windshield and wrapped the sissy bar with 550 cord.

Found this little bag at the Surplus store today, it laces up in the back so it worked perfectly for a small tank bag.



Also picked up this canvas rucksack and I figured I would see how it looks as a solo bag (mocked up with zip ties for the photo). I will need to make a frame for it so it does not rub. It is also large enough to put my soft lowers in what is what I was looking for.

Nice color on the paracord glad you didn't go with black, that looks way better than black would have. Love anything wrapped in paracord guns, knives, girlfriend, bike parts now,

Made a saddle bag frame so I could instal a rucksack as a solo saddle bag, I also installed a bottle opener under the license plate. I still need to load it up and see how it does and if it is all is good I'm going to wax the bag to help weatherproof it.

Once I tear it all back down after the test runs I'll post pics of the framework for the bag.

Nice job, all of your mods fit your bike really well. Definitely not your typical "bolt on" items.

You need to check out the old ******/MB boards for parts & ideas. These "blackout" turn signals would fit your theme...

I pull the pin and drop it when cars follow too close behind me.....lol. In all seriousness tho, it just covers the stud left by when I moved the horns.

I'm making a soft saddle bag out of an old US issued duffle bag.

Here are a few pictures of my progress.

Tool storage (reinforced with a steel plate)







These are the sides of the bag, I still have to make the front and rain flap for the bag.
