The only thing that caught my interest was the front fender.

The bags are so big that it will limit what pipes you could run. I run V&H longshots.
I have to agree with earlier views...ugglyyy...

They're just HD bags with integrated extensions that will allow you to run the exhaust behind them. If you go to their Rear Fenders page, you'll see they offer them with cut-outs for single-side or dually exhausts

Looks like most of us think alike ...

.... the bags are too anglular. I prefer the beetle bag style as it's more in line with the lines of the stock fender.

What's beautiful about the Roadie, is its lines. You look at it, and the lines of the whole bike are just damn appealing -- Maybe more than any other bike out there. The things that this fellow has done, rather than working WITH those lines, actually chop up and destroy those lines, and as such, it's poor taste, poor design, and poor execution, IMHO.

Exactly why I went with a more rounded bag. I don't think the newer HD bags look bad on the Roadie, but they do interrupt the flow of the smooth lines.

Now if UPS will ever show up with my mounts I might actually get them mounted. haha

I dont see this as a big seller. I much prefer the "before" photos.

Re:This is different... 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
You guys sure are scaring everyone with a different opinion away

I like the bags with the rear fender and the rounded top. I could stuff a 250 tire in there run some Freedom dual big cans out the back cut into the bags custom like and throw that sweet front Indian fender paint it all with a killer paint job add Tricky's air ride and I would have one cool looking bagger. I DO hate the front light thingy which probably throws the whole image off.

IMHO
