I don't run saddlebags on my bike, I think that it looks cleaner when without saddle bags on it but I guess it does get annoying when I got to have a backpack if I go far. Thinking about going to get removable bags but I dont know been saying that for a while now

 

Somewhere brotha ya gotta quit lookin at it & put yourself on it & everything ya need, & do just that

 

Well OK then.

 

I missed it again, damn

 

Function over Form

 

Rather have bags on my bike than on my back.

 

It is gay to use a backpack on a Harley.

Get the saddlebags, but no fringe..............:-)

 

i was the same way for many years...form over function.
now i keep the bags on, ditched the bare bones & the bike is much more usable.
having storage on the bike is mandatory for me now.
when i bolt on a windshield i'll be officially old haha

 

Sometimes ya' feel like a bag, sometimes ya' don't...

 

My bags and windshield are all basically "quick release". I get where I'm going and want to look extra cool, I drop them off somewhere. Otherwise they serve their purpose. There are too many things I like to have handy (couple tools, safety vest, frisbee for under the kick stand) to load it all in my pockets.
