nice bags...very clean look and follows the contours of the bike nicely. The rear view looks like the bike came with those bags.
You must have replaced your 2.1 gal peanut tank with a larger 4.5 gal tank...do plan to color-match the the tank with the rest of the bike or do you prefer the contrast?
Thanks,
I will keep this 4.5 gal tank white since it is in pristine condition. I also have a black 4.5 gal that needs repainting and I might do it in olive Gold like the original 2.1 gal tank.
previous and now custom my sportster
I like both of them...
Very nice...which one is previous and which one is now?
I am partial to hard bags and batwing fairings LOL. IMHO color-matching your tins including the battery/oil covers would make it look awesome....but that is just me as you can see LOL
Just sold this bike...and really miss it.

Just completed my bagging mods on my 48. Had to relocate the license plate and rear turn signals. All in all, I think it's quite awesome. I used "Great Bike Gear" to relocate both license plate and turn signals so the "Burly" mount can be installed. The relocation kit comes with a bracket to relocate the turn signals nut they are crap in my opinion. With the "Burly" mount installed as per instruction, the bags hits the shock absorber and would be damaged. I made a short bracket to angle up the mount at the reart With the short bracket I made installed, the mount is now at an angle Which created the safe distance between the bag and the shocks The distance between the frame and the bag is not bad.
The completely installed. I just wish the mount is made closer to the frame. All Done

Reviving an old post but wondering what make and model those bags are? Exact model I like and my color too.
Anyone ever use Viking #10907 bags? They are the shiny black ABS bags. I ask because I wonder how well they would hold up, say if the bike dropped while standing. Don't plan on doing that but wonder how strong ABS bags are.
