Depends on the "look" yer going for, but I find 120mm ammo cans work quite nicely :D

The bags are Ranger II Chubbies: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/ranger-ii-chubby-saddlebags-plain-vulcan-900-1500-and-1600-models/part/KAK-53000-223

I was lucky in that the whole setup came with the bike.  You can see more on the struts and loops here: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/oemsbsetup.html

Drifter's stuff is very hard to find... but sometimes it happens to pop up on the internet. So keep an eye on it and cross your fingers!

The Fire & Steel struts bolt to the frame ears under the seat, so as the rear fender floats up and down, the bags and struts don't.

RockinRonny; heres a pic of the bags on mine; huge, yet sit low, don't stick above the fender, but the pipes are set up as duallys so allows the bags to sit low.   :)

Bob's Mobile Welding in Port Perry. http://bmwelding.com/
Check out the opening video, I made that for him. He does a lot of powder coating, never bike parts yet. Does a lot of stuff for Air Canada, Durham Region and hospitals - portable work stations - Jet engine stands etc. He's in the process of opening a new shop in the industrial park.

He's my favorite bro when I need welding done.

I'm in the process of getting my rims powder coated. I disassembled the spokes and ordered new ones from Buchannan's in California. Powder coat just came in the other day, now I just need to find the time to bring it to my brothers shop.

Thanks PC.  I really like that look and am considering doing the same - along with making the rim tubeless - some day.  :)

He removed the wheels and spokes, had them stripped and powder coated, then reassembled and balanced.
