Ew. The bags and the orange of the bike seem to clash. I'm color blind, so maybe its just me

Winner.
The brown works with the orange at 100%.
Ditto, the fork bag compliments the swingarm bag.

I keep mine above the headlight now, and it hasn't caused any more issues... IDK if it will fit on the nightster like that, but I've seen others that put them between the frame down tubes too. Just a heads up for you (the nightster suspension may be different, hopefully a nightster owner with a fork bag chimes in).
I had a black HD fork bag prior to this one and I was worried it might hit the front fender but even with bottoming the front suspension out it never hit. The lick's bag doesn't "droop" as much as my HD bag did so there should be even less of a chance. But I'll keep an eye out on it.

Thanks! I decided not to go with the HD spring seat and found some really cool looking seats from motheroad customs last night. I found one that is tattoo looking and distressed brown so it should look pretty wild on the paint. It's next on my list.
