Calling All Sportster Baggers...Post Pics of your Bagger

Tsukaya bags but I got the windshield from ebay.
Luckily it seems as all the Harley imitations all seem to fit and that one only cost about £20 delivered.
Thought I would just try a few and work out works for me best.
The aux led lights arrived today and I also pulled the trigger on a 7inch Headlight housing and LED unit as well.
Did have to change the front brake line as with the riser on the new speedo it was at full stretch, took a gamble ordering one that was 50' designed for a Street Bob and it worked...phew
I was expecting the front end to be heavier with the fairing and gubbings attached but it seemed very well balanced.
Am very happy with the results over all.
Might look for a comfy solo seat as the passenger part of that sundowner just sits too proud and breaks up the lines
Can't fault the bags, good strong construction, easy to fit and even came with load balancers so no issues with the dash lights flashing too fast

BTW did have a blast

And the JD just gives it an identity and takes it away from the norm, not that it currently looks like any other bike

When you have a chance, please provide link to the windshield you bought on ebay in case my flared windshield does not deflect wind as I hope.
Thanks. JD and riding not a good mix...LOL Ride safe.

you have PM buddy
Has anyone had any success with lower fairings?
I know the chances are they won't fit every set engine bars but wondered if I could cut and then fibreglass something that would fit to my bike.
I might also just buy a single HD version one to use as a test fit as most of the ones on ebay are ABS plastic and picking up the HD ones bit by bit might be a cheaper option in the long run

Replaced my 5" batwing fairing windshield with a 6" flared dark smoke windshield. Hopefully the windshield will be more functional and deflect the wind over my head and not into my face as did the 5" windshield. At least IMHO, it looks a little more stylish...lol. Will test ride on Christmas eve.
Update 12/24: Wind still hits my face but it is not from the direct airflow coming off the windshield so it is mild and comfortable. Not ideal but much better with a clear view over the windshield.
