- April 15, 2017, 14:24:24 PM I can not afford to do the gloss black pipes I want......
Alos a bit of chrome does make it stand out.....Now I know where your spouse is coming from nothing worse than damn helmet hair.......I have to contend with that all summer long and in the winter time I have to deal with what we call Toque head...and it is horrible, with my naturally curly and wonderful hair ......I hate to hide it..........

- April 15, 2017, 07:42:38 AMBut...you have a chrome tail pipe..? Just kidding....gotta admit...looks very good....too bad you can no longer get that passenger backrest setup. I tried and tried to find one (no longer available from cruiser customizing), so, as you know, I fabricated my own backrest mounts and added a....wait for it....CHROME backrest and rear rack to my Fire & Steel 2-up seat... 
. I'm hoping that this summer I can get my better half to ride over to the coast with me a few times....I think that once she gets over her initial fear of the open road and helmet hair, she might actually enjoy it..
I have actually emailed Mutazu to see if the make on of their detachable hard trucks with backrest in the same burgundy color as the bags I got. That would make a nice 2-up setup for overnight trips....Plus, I bet I could figure out a way to mount it on the solo seat rack as well...we'll see what they say.

- April 14, 2017, 20:49:41 PMCan 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.

- April 14, 2017, 12:14:31 PMWhat tires pray tell are you installing?
Posted by OR Seedman
- April 14, 2017, 08:04:40 AMThanks 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.. 
. 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...

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

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
