Starting the bagger build this weekend 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Well its already snowed up to almost 3 feet in areas around here (western mass) although it's mostly gone already, the bike is away at the shop and this weekend starts the tear down. Looking forward to posting progress in the upcoming future and to have a badass bagger to ride in the spring. If anyone has any tips or suggestions on there bagger builds they would be appreciated. Thanks

Re:Starting the bagger build this weekend 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
only advice i can tell ya is if you like something stick to that, dont go a different route and change the bags, fairing, ect for something else just cause its cheaper you will more than likely regrete it later.

but if you know what you want like royal star bags or a reckless fairing please tell us so we can help you out someone has been there and done that here

Re:Starting the bagger build this weekend 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Well my plan is tjd 4" stretched 2" wider bags with 6" X 9" speaker cutouts. They have a package deal with the rear fender which im hoping is an easy enough mod to fit our *s instead of harleys. Also they have a fairing I like that has speaker cutouts already. Going to use baddad front fender, mod the stock seat although i got to do some reading on what you guys out there have found to determine a route to choose for that. Some odds and ends other than that but that would be the bulk of it.

I don't see one on their site. maybe I'll give them a call and check. If they don't maybe they will know what it takes to mod it to a *.

Re:Starting the bagger build this weekend 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
thanks if i have to that would be an option but i would like to stay with bags and fender through the same company to eliminate the possibility of having the fenders be a little different shape when molded.
