Finally got the Tsukayu Hard Saddle bags back.  Project complete!

Now that is an awesome looking bike!  Never thought the bags would look that good; incredible job.

Congrats but be fore-warned, your bike will be an attention get'ter so say goodbye to privacy :-)

Both before and after pics look like a great style Drifter.  The after with two tones and hardbags are really custom and great look and finish....Good Job...

Congratulations Ken! You should be proud, looks outstanding!!!

Looks much better since you've made it yours!

Thanks, Gene, but I have to tip my hat to my painter.  What a work of art!

I think they'll look great Marco. Nice find!

Thanx Gene, your appreciation really helps me to swallow the huge outlay that I've had to face for those saddle bags...
Damn import taxes!

I've just purchased a pair of hard saddle bags: they're from the 50's and are so called "bubble bags".
I am most grateful to Mr. Zoar, who helped me out shipping them to my country. Thanx bud!
Now I'm gonna fix some minor issues for one of said bags and then I'll red paint them.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna fab, together with a local bender, the new saddle bag brackets (BTW: many credits to Mr. Seedman, who helped me out with it).
Look at the pic (a simple mock-up, just for rendering).
