originality is one thing but why spend good hard earned bucks on the bones and then short change yourself on the bag? I'M still waiting on a part or two to get my bones back together and because I wanted to do it right I had to wait on cash flow. I think it looks shabby (being polite) but hey its your ride so thats what freedom of expression is all about! Deacon

At one point I thought about trying something similar with either ammo cans or some smaller backpacks from WWII that I found at a swap meet. Fortunately I came across some nearly new Crossbones bags on eBay for $350 so that ended that endeavor.
Yours doesn't look too bad. Maybe if it were a bit smaller and maybe black or even brown in color. Otherwise, I think it's cool. I just have to ask though; do you think that with as much as that thing could hold, it might throw you off balance a bit since you only have it on the one side?

Since I still have the stock exhaust on, the bike naturally wants to go right. Damn thing must weigh 40LBS. I haven't fully loaded it down yet. I plan on getting a leathersmith to "reproduce" it a touch smaller, with easier to use straps, and in distressed dark brown. This was kinda a dry run.
