Fork bag and swing arm bag. Got a little “help” from the munchkin, but she had fun and we got to spend some quality time together.

Looks good. I thought the swing arm bags were horizontal at the top and angled at the bottom? To be fair, I have only seen them in the configurator.

Thanks. This is what all the pictures show everywhere I’ve found them and the only way I could mount it. It’s tilted a few degrees more than it probably should be but this seemed like the safest way to put it so that it wouldn’t be pulling on brake lines or wires and not interfere with the suspension.

You put safety before style? Some Harley rider you are...

Should make it easier to get to your gun that way. Or water bottle.

I know. I’m a disgrace. I even wear a helmet, gloves and jacket and plan on getting riding pants.

Gun? Meh. Water bottle? Nope. The one mounted on the swing arm bag is for fuel. That’s what I drink. Or if I need a weapon just turn that into a molotov cocktail.

Lol. Every time I do a configure, I only like adding the swing arm bag. Nothing else looks right if it’s not a bagger. I ride without anything so I have to backpack or messenger bag when I carry stuff.

Yeah. I completely agree. But I’m ok with the fork bag, it gives it a little bit of an old school look I think. All I carry is a little bit of spare gear, water, and fuel.

I’m trying to find one I like for mine. I want to mount it on the lower frame at the front of the bike. Can’t go higher as I have a radiator to worry about. I saw one on my model of bike and it rocked. The ones I see are all too big or too something...

What kind of bike? The vendor I got mine from was bike beauty in the UK. They had a bunch of different options.

Not bad at all for a Harley wannabe!

Kidding. Honda has been doing a fantastic job with their cruisers for a long time now.

Nothing wanna be there.... don’t wanna be loud AND slow. ;)

Honda is starting to stray. Their bigger cruiser/touring bikes are based off the Gold Wing ( Old Wing). The Fury is neat, but I would go with the Stateline. They are looking all futuristic n Shit with a lot of them. I keep gravitating to a Wide Glide when I start dreaming. I like the sportster variants, but I’m too fat to pull it off.

Touché!

Yeah, I think you’re right. I checked out a new shadow briefly and something was just off about it composted to how they used to be. Kind of like how BMW has list a few steps since the e46/39. Somehow immeasurable but you know it isn’t quite right.

If you look at the 1800s, or the vrf/whatever they call them, you see Akira. It’s neat but never would I.
