Performance baggers

The term "Performance Bagger" can mean a lot of different things. Before I got my touring bike I tried putting hard bags on my Springer. That made it a Springer with bags, not a bagger. A bagger is slang commonly referring
to a touring frame motorcycle, not just a motorcycle with bags. My opinion, based on years of observation.
Sportsters are fast, fun bikes. Light weight and easy to throw around. Getting one to handle isn't an impressive feat. The fact that the bikes here, my now wrecked bagger included, were built on touring frames, modified to handle the hard cornering roads, and still be able to eat miles is what makes than ideal for those of us young enough to enjoy the spirited riding but want to be comfortable.
I will be building another. It was the best of both worlds.

Love this vike🤩🤩🤩 03 Ultra who has been on a diet😂
Geezer engineering front end with Bitubo inserts, gsx-r1000 front brakes, ISR master cylinder and clutch lever, 1550cc kit, 2-1exhaust, 10" riser and motocross bar🤩
Removed the Ultra stuff, stereo, cruise control and so on…
Saving money for better rear shocks than the Legend airshocks I have on now…
But the bike handles amazing, I love to ride it in twisty roads (and we have a lot of that here in Norway)🤩🤩🤩
