I will probably hang on to the Buco bags a little longer , they may be used on another upcoming project. Good ones are hard to find.I almost bought the repo ones first as I thought they wouls be easier to paint.Glad I didn't.
Well, keep us posted with your new project.
And if you should ever abort with it, keep me in mind...I'd like to get those bags...

- July 31, 2016, 08:40:16 AMQuote from: thenemos on July 30, 2016, 11:28:23 AMI like those Buco bags with the tail lights. I know the tail lights were added after purchase. Does anyone know where I can get the bags?You see them come up from time to time. They were used on a lot of different 1950's and 1960's bikes. There are several styles, but the one's on Leonardo's old bike are pretty easy to find if you look around. Most had reflectors on the back, but some (the BMW's I think) had working lights. They aren't cheap though!

- October 19, 2012, 15:59:14 PMFound a couple more options that might look good with a Drifter. Not real cheap, but available! You'd have to do custom mounts, but that's not a big deal since you were going to do that anyways.

- October 15, 2012, 17:51:40 PMThat's Leonardo's bike. He's done a massive amount of custom work on it, including customizing those Buco bags with the tail lights and making the mounts. That springer seat is a custom one off that he hand stitched himself. It truly is a stunning bike! You can see more here (older pics): http://vulcandrifterriders.com/photogallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=8 Here's a few that show the Buco's: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/Drifter/Other%20Peoples%20Bikes/1LowRes.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/Drifter/Other%20Peoples%20Bikes/2LowRes.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/Drifter/Other%20Peoples%20Bikes/3LowRes.jpg

- October 12, 2012, 21:44:17 PMIf you look in the mods/tips section of the site, there is a detailed "how-to" on putting Nomad bags on a Drifter; top notch job, too.
