Talking To bag my Fatboy or not?
I found a pair of excellent condition RK hard saddles and cycle vision mounts, I do need more storage for my notebook and jacket, getting tired carrying a back pack to work every work day. I have seen a few Fatboys with bags in the forum, tell me what you think. Another thing I worry is the exhaust, not sure if it is going to clear or not.

Back pack works fine. Or get a messenger bag that goes over your shoulder.

I got a bag ($120 from Saddleman) that slides over the removable passenger pillion. But if the bags are removable, then that works too. Probably more expensive though.

Dont do eeeeettt!!

Softail means sleek and clean. Softail means "Faux" hardtail....Softail means to cool to be bagged up!

That being said I hate wearing backpacks and if it dosent fit in my little Solo sack? It stays home!


We have a member that custom makes these bags. Betcha he could make one that would fit your stuff....These bags are badass and uber high quality. Lined with bandana material and he sells them way too cheap. He can make anything you want!

Heres his contact info: theonealfamily@rocketmail.com

Once I finally get my dream bike: a Fatboy Lo, I plan on changing the pipes out immediately that is lower, so I can put Full size removable bags on it.
