What an awesome concept!! Looks great.

Not everyday practical, but man you are going to drop some jaws at CES!! I'll be looking for this bike this year.

I like the concept...the only consideration I might throw out there would be this...consider adding another mounting point to the bags...a third one perhaps a little lower to keep the low end weight from possibly flexing the bag as it trys to swing out...I doubt that it would move, but I'm think with that amount of vibration you could possibly wear on those fasteners where the saddlebag attaches to the frame of the bike.

Not likely at all IMHO, but something to consider (if you haven't already).

I used to be a mobile audio nut many years ago. I look at my saddle bags every once in a while and go hmmmmm. A couple of 8's. Maybe adding a Tour Pak with a 10". Mids and tweets in the fairing. Then reality kicks back in again. But I do often wonder if it has already been done before.

I knew coming into a Harley forum would stir up what I have built as stupid but hey that's his idea, I never worry about what others think of my work after all he probley thinks bose is a great audio company.[:-]


For the guys that answered my question thanks.

Regardless of how 'overboard' the design may be, I would love to hear it...both parked and driving. Also want to give you credit for the fine workmanship as I wish I could only make things look so 'nice' when doing custom work.
