Somethings could be better, at least for me. The OEM bags leak, could be better but as a standard item they are ok better than none for me. I will probably change them next year. |
Between You and Spud, I'm impressed with how much customization has been done on what the uninformed would call a *throw away bike*.
Yes, that grab rail is a lot of metal. Been idly pondering what I might bodge up as an alternative to that. Perhaps remove the rear seat and start a luggage rack further forward, also removing the passenger foot pegs. After all, it's best to keep luggage as low as practical and as far forward as possible.
