Not 100% positive if it will fit a Sporster but worth a look. http://www.jokermachine.com/itemstre...&Placeholder=0
That solo bag is so good!
I made my own from a ballistic nylon bag that I had already.
Works for now but I am gonna get one of these lick ones for sure!

it also says in the owners manual to use any amonia based window cleaner for lite detailing between washes. i have also found it works awesome for bugs and chrome

Default Licks Solo Bag

I have had mine for a few months now and love it. The quality is top notch and customer service is great. One note... if you carry passengers you will need to extend your left footpeg out a few inches to allow it to extend beyond the solo bag. I took my footpeg to the hardware store, found a longer allen head bolt and a threaded coupler to resolve. Here are the pics... (sorry they are not from the same angle)...

Before spacing the footpeg out:

Quick question, where did you get the solo saddle bag from and did you need to relocate your tail lights? Thanks man

Hey Jetz, I use a Sundowner for 2-up riding. I almost hate the look but the ride is great and my passengers agree. I would like to find a nice low 2-up that would allow me to have a passenger but keep the low lines of the bike and then just use the Sundowner for planned rides and going further. Here are a few pics for ya (my bike was mostly stock when these were taken)...

I've accessorised my Iron and I don't even have it yet. I ordered the engine guard for it today. Only now I have to wait until the 1st of October to get the bike.

Cheers
