  Can we get a picture from the other side of the bike, want to see the bag and fender minus the pipes......

I am really liking that look, other then all that chrome, need to wear sunglasses.........you will really like the Metz 888's, I had them last summer and did my ride to Billings and home, after Sparta. I like them in the wet weather they really hold the road well.

What tires pray tell are you installing?

Thanks to all the compliments.  The bags even came with mounting hardware (rubber grommets, grommet sleeves, bolts, nuts and washers).  I put the rear rack back on late last night as well....it really finishes the look.  Mutazu has a lot of different accessories like luggage and other stuff.  Not really top of the line, but more middle of the road, from the looks of it.  Like I said earlier, the paint job on the bags is okay, but it's better than I could have done.. :o.  But to be able to find painted bags that match so well, I'll take 'em.  Last thing to put on are the new white walls sitting in the storeroom at my office....just haven't had the time to pull the wheels and take them over to the local shop and have them mounted...I still have the original tires at 6,350 miles.  They aren't worn out, but they have some fine cracking due to age...

Well done!
That's a cool result. Those bahs match really nice the bike. And the indian headdress is a cool add.

Sorry...worked late today...here ya go.  By the way, I had my springer seat sold...then the guy flaked on me and didn't take it.  My wife told me to keep it because it looks cool and it works around town...so it's back on.  Also, I mounted the war-bonnet light back a little so the face angle on the tank matches it.  I hope it doesn't look too goofy...now I just gotta order the studded lid bibs..

man I love your pipes

 8) sorry I keep forgetting that a lot of you lads need to get permission to go for a ride......I am master and ruler of my abode so I do not need to ask for permission, I control the TV remote, I get to decide what we are eating for supper and when and how much I want......

Not really a fan of bags on drifters either, but practicality wins out....plus I have an excuse to run up to the store for my wife from time to time.  I have been looking for the signal visors...but don't like the ones with ridges in them...can't locate smooth ones so far.  I still need to put the chrome rack/mount back on...sorta finishes things off...and, yeah, I need to get the lid bibs ordered....I just wonder if I will ever be finished adding stuff to it....:-P  Maybe some arrowhead decals on the bags??

  Ok first off your wife other than picking you she has to be a smart cookie, she has good taste.  :o. I now can go and try and sleep some and get some rest that you have finished what you started. Now I am personally not a huge fan of hard or soft bags on the Drifter, JMPO. But each to their own, I have however seen some really nice setups. This is one of them, it looks good, now a set of 1000 watt speakers in the lids...lol......
Now your wife is right that setup looks really good. I do like the solo seat for around town and such, so once I get mine figured out I'll get it mounted. Oh right I finally found the seat I was after. The lid bibs will give it that finished look.
You also need to visor the signal lights, all four of them.......Ok so the story I heard about the Indian head fender light.....the Heads eyes are supposed to be looking at the road ahead of you to clear the path, so yours is looking off into the distance to ensure that the way far ahead is clear...that is fine......
Yes one nice ride ...but lord some shiny.....lol.......
