If he had cut the bottom off the R* bags and just extended them down, I think that would have looked better. I would not mind having more room in my saddle bags. If you could widen the rear fender but with the same flowing lines to allow for a bigger tire (240) and make the bags and rear fender look like all one piece, that would be sporty for a custom look.

Not crazy about the headlight set-up either. Bags, way too angular. What I like are the Venture bags.

The rear fender is butt ugly, too. So is the white plate running across the top of the forks. I looked at it again, wondering if I'd judged it too harshly... Nope. It's horrible all the way around. *barf*

I think if they used the Roady bags and stretched them, and widened the Roady rear fender it would be much better. They are taking HD components and putting them on a Roadstar to make it look like a Harley. Excentuate the lines of the Roady, the part that people like about how they look.

Here is a guy that I used to do allot of paint work for. Check out his site. He deals with Bad Dad allot.

He also has a really nice Roadstar that is a bargain for the accessories it has.

Well, I'm not a fan of hard bags anyway, but yeah, it does seem to flow a little better. If the bags were less "boxy," maybe...
