I can't recall a thread where anyone has re-wrapped their bags. I think it would be expensive to do and I think that I would just buy another set of bags from some of the custom leather makers around the country. Fringe, lots of fringe though!

Google 'Custom Leather Saddlebags'...then look at 'Images' .... you'll find a lot of ideas. Also, give Chilhowee a call. I believe it was Rebecca that helped me (been a couple years)... they can do some things with your OEM bags. I spoke with her about building strips of fringe that I could mount to the existing bags and I got the impression that it wouldn't be much of a challenge for them to do something like that.

 

Whiskers,
Where did you get your talibag?

 

They are made by Ameritex USA (hard to find a website for the company)... J&P Cycles carries them. You can buy them with/without studs, with/without fringe...and in three or so widths.

Hey 2kids,
Nicely done! I like the way you've cleaned up the tail end. Is that a factory brake light/turn signal/plate hanger assembly? Never liked my plate above the brake light. IMO fishtails just make it busy.
Thanks for your help!

 

Still making subtle changes.

 

Fishtails had to go, here's the new look along with a streetglide seat and rear dropped with 944's.

 

Its a Kury product #3151, picked up from the dealer on the clearance rack, think I paid $49.00

If I go with new pipes they will be SuperTrapp SE's...I like the option of being able to just change the tips

 

Can you post a couple more pics? Thinking of getting lowers on mine and would love to see a couple shots of yours.

 

Or you can use the 2009 and up Road King set up to place the plate below the light. It is plug and play. There is one for sale on ebay right now:

Anyone got a "best" way to keep spokes and rims / tires looking clean and spanking new. Obviously a noobie question, and am just now beginning to understand how to navigate through the forum. Info appreciated...
