A different take on the solo bag on a Nightster
Had the bike about a year now, been slowly making it mine. Have had the HD chopper sissy bar with a molle style bag on the back of it for a while now and got tired of the look full-time. I ride to work and like to take a nalgene with water, a hat, couple other small things so need somewhere to put a few small items and not a fan of wearing a backpack.
The Licks and La Rosa bags look very nice but I was looking for something "different". Also with the drag bars I like to put my feet on the passenger pegs for a sportier riding position sometimes so didnt want something that required extending the passenger pegs.
Probably a year ago I bought a military style backpack from the local army surplus and when I got home I was suprised to find another smaller bag inside....well this is how I will put it to use for now. Going to cover the back with a soft material to prevent scratching the side cover but went on a 150 mile ride yesterday and it was perfect. So far I like it, its different and very functional.

Appreciate the comments, I have thick skin so you wont hurt my feelings no matter how hard you try...
I am liking the look for now, but I thought the same when I added the sissy bar a year ago, and now I have options. To be honest I would prefer nothing on the bike but I need a way to carry a couple things. I also tried the fork bag for a while and that certainly didn't work for me.
On a side note I feel the Nightster is kind of in no mans land when it comes to style. Its obviously not a chopper, not a bobber, not really a "cafe" bike, and in my opinion not a cruiser either. I guess its a Sportster and we all have our own interpretation of what that is
