Calling All Sportster Baggers...Post Pics of your Bagger
#511
Received the 10" smoke windshield from J&P $72 shipped. Initially thought it would not fit since the bend in the shield was more than the fairing, but Polycarbonate can bend cold so tried to straighten it out a little...didn't do much but since the plastic is flexible, got it into my fairing...phew, thought I threw away $72. Now to see if it moves the airflow over my helmet. Good quality shield, no distortion, good thickness, nice tint, and polycarbonate does not shatter like acrylic...so IMO a safer windshield. Need to drill and secure, then test ride. Will post pics soon.
Still didn't receive the 9 1/2" smoke black flared shield...if there is a need to look through the shield at this height, then will probably not use it (and sell it on CL)....but I like the shape of the 9 1/2 flared more than the 10" straight shield.
Update: Received the 9 1/2" today 2/18/16...now need to figure out which one to use.

I'm kind of torn right now with getting bags or not. I like the look of my Sporty so if I get the bags I will need to get the quick release option.
Just don't know if I want to go through the hassle and money to get the relocation bracket, quick release bracket, saddlebags, fitting them, etc.

It's not that bad...mine came with everything you need (mounting brackets/bolts, lid lock/keys, quick release bracket already attached to the bags) including a single element LED on the bag for turn or brake and inner lining. The only other thing I bought was a low profile license plate mount that attaches the stock turn signals. I also have quick release sissy mounts between the strut and bags in case I go 2-up. You can install black but I painted my bags to color-match the bike. There are pics on this thread somewhere.

Thank you for the info

Yes they did but I am not referring to the LW Saddle Bags on eBay that were mentioned above....I was referring to my bags and to indicate the bags are not a hassle to install and come with all mounting hardware. Good luck
