I like the look...very clean (wires are hidden), great running light to be seen from the front. It is a bit pricey, but you normally pay price for aftermarket chrome quality parts.
Nice! They are pricey though. Maybe you can ditch your turn signals now and wire these new fancy lights to work as turn signals as well.

LOL thanks. Yeah had the option to make it run/turn but needed to purchase amber lens and did not want amber running lights in the front. Kevin from DK was going to test their run/turn LEDs on the engine guard (currently for fork or handlebar) but did not hear from them....would have gone with their LEDs since it changes color white running/amber turn and much less expensive...and probably return the one's I had. Good lights but just too expensive.

Installed my Mustang tripper solo with backrest and chrome fender luggage rack. A different look from my Mustang Tripper fasback 2-up seat, but I am going for back support and comfort and staying as low a profile as I can.






Took the bike out today, very comfortable...more comfortable than the tripper fastback. The backrest makes a huge difference. It is positioned right on my lower back...perfect.

Same here, Braided Slant Viking Bags with the Quick Release Brackets. The bags add to the usefulness and utility of the bike. I can carry a First Aid Kit (JIC) and six small orange traffic cones for emergency use if necessary, as well as a little light grocery shopping for my wife. I would post a Photo or two, but I have no idea of how to do that. I'm pretty much a neophyte when it comes to posting. Is there a tutorial with info and directions on this website on how to post pics. In the meantime...

Tsukaya bags

They come with built-in single element LEDs that you can use as amber turn signals or use them as a red RBT light as I did with DK Customs RBT module (video on a previous post on this thread). I also relocated my turn signal since initially I used them as additional red brake lights and wanted to be able retain my turn signal if I remove the bags. They come with quick release mounts. All you have to do is paint if you want to color-match.

You can probably get them closer to the fender than mine since I installed quick release mounts for my sissy.

BensonUK has them on his Sporty too in black.

Very nice mod. Was looking at the same seat. Glad you like it. Motherwell rack?

On the engine guard lights, was looking at those and the Motolights for my King. They are pricey, but looks real good.
