Changing up again 4 Years, 10 Months ago  
I've been collecting parts to go custom bagger
But during the last bike show in Yuma, almost every single bike had the same look... batwing, stretched bags fat fender, bagger bars, big front wheel
They all looked the same and nobody gave them a second glance, but I always had a few people gathered around my bike and complimenting it
So I think I'm gonna go more with the style I have only better
I'm thinking I'm gonna get some Boss bags now, anybody mount them or other bags like them? What did you use for mounts. Right now I'm using oem hard bag mounts and just drilled holes through the leather and put threw them
Also what about the batwing? should it stay?

Re:Changing up again 4 Years, 10 Months ago  
I hear you Stevie!

At the last decent size event I was at there was an overabundance of Big Wheel Baggers. Lots of different paint schemes, but after a while they all start looking the same.

My wife and I were surprised by all the positive comments we got about my bike.

Except for the few that thought it was an SOA bike, which we've heard before, most people liked the clean basic look.

Your bike looks great - keep being you.

No doubt, the "Badass Bagger" thing has done to death.
