    True that skin graft stuff. I just hope I never have to find out how well my mesh gear will hold up. :lalala:

    they were cut open and gutted, then custom oval end cap outlets were made and welded on.

    heat shields were left off, i then painted them with VHT high temp paint

    haha im not draggin pegs with the wife on back, but we both like getting a little lean on... its weird cause she hates when im driving either of the cars, but loves when she is riding passenger on the bike.. makes no sense


    luggage held up great.
    had only one issue.. one of my welds on my bracket i made broke while in NC... it was my fault i was pushing against it while putting the right side bag on in the morning before we left.

    i found a place about 20 min up the road that welded it back up for me for $20... after that no issues at all.


    still am going to buy the honda line hard bags though.. will make life easier, and they look nicer IMO
