[dbikers]

just trying to get some ideas from the gang here...

i don't ride with a passenger (or if i do, very rarely). what do you think does the bike look better with or without?

If you're goung to go without I would put a luggage rack from a Sportster back there. It looks naked.

 

I did something like that with my CB750

i agree it looks naked......looks a little less naked with the maxi pad.

i dont know...i just think the rear makes it look too "fat"

I think without....but maybe a back rest would be better.

Without. Looks sharp and cleaner.

I LIKE THAT!

I would say without as well but with the luggage rack in its place.

Unless you add a backrest/luggage rack, I'd go solo.

It looks much better without. Go for that outlaw look.

If you're talking about the seat.......it definitely looks better without.

 

Now, this part, you probably REALLY don't wanna hear: I think what the bike needs is a bigger pair of bags. (Part of the reason it looks a little "naked" is that there isn't quite enough "bulk" back there.)

 

Either a nice set of soft/hard Road King-style bags...or off a Softail (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-motorcycle-parts-accessories-HARLEY-DAVIDSON-SADDLE-BAGS-W0QQAdIdZ479696460)....or some larger, buckskin style (scroll down on page http://www.saddlebags.net/roadking.html)

 

Not suggesting you have to spend a grand on bags....but they really DO make a bagger what it is!

 

Good luck with your project.

Semi retired...i couldn't agree with you more on all counts....my budget is the only thing holding me back right now...i want to make a bit of a "bagger" out it with some hard bags (which will need to be painted depleting my wallet of more $$$)

I've already taken the rear seat off and rode approx 250 miles over the weekend and i honestly think it the bike did fine.

 

thanks again.
