Maybe the dropped frame on a Touring look will grow on you, but I think they do not look good. Plenty of low sitting Touring seats out there that do a good job of sitting you down low.

Somebody has been watching to much TV. Cutting the frame should be taken very seriously, the justification for doing it should be significant.

That all said, it's your bike.

WOW, they sure are proud of that fatbaggers drop seat kit. It is a great idea but I doubt they look very good or are compatible with many seats. Too bad they don't show any pics of it installed with different seat choices.

Each to their own but I love the way my bike looks and sets. As far as notching the frame there is quite a bit more to do than just that. You have to relocate a lot of things under your seat.

Yes that's an HD anarchy on the front. I'm just running a chrome enforcer on the rear,with the coo bags you really can't see much of the rear.

I've always liked the Anarchy front just never wanted an 18" rear to go with it. I never even thought about using the Enforcer for the rear, great idea! I'm gonna check into that! Any more pics on ur user page?
I just looked. Man, u got some serious toys! Great looking vehicles there. And rear wheel looks great too.
