HD should consider making saddlebags like these for the V, that follows the lines of the bike. What do you guys think?
Vrod-Mike 07-18-2007, 08:07 PM Now that is some ugly $hit right there.
SawDawg 07-18-2007, 08:11 PM Hey, Its Paw Paws' chopper.
stomper 07-18-2007, 08:22 PM Sorry - not for me :barf: :barf:
gsxrdoug 07-18-2007, 08:27 PM Well at least with those bags you don't need a kickstand just lean it over on the bag.
Diamond Lil 07-18-2007, 08:55 PM I wish the MoCo would have put the same kind of energy into making bags for the V.
I do not care for that ride at all, but credit should be given where credit is due....at least they gave it a good ole try.
synseer 07-18-2007, 09:23 PM Wow! That thing is radically different than anything else. Guys deserve their props for coming up with something original like that.

V Ride 07-18-2007, 09:32 PM I think it looks pretty sweet for a bagger.
Beeek 07-18-2007, 09:41 PM I think it looks pretty sweet for a bagger.
Ditto...just needs better paint or chrome.
knightenforcer 07-18-2007, 09:43 PM Ummm, I'm not into the chopper myself, I was aiming more on what HD could possibly create for the V rod that is both functional and follows the lines of the bike, radical looking is also a plus. (hint to HD guys browsing this site);)
Daniii 07-18-2007, 09:47 PM I kinda like it. You guys who have other ideas, go for it. We're waiting.....
If they just moved the bags back flush with the ass end it would look a lot better.

You see!!! Even they do much better than the MoCo with saddle bag design. I like them!
HD are you watching?
Karl Scott 07-18-2007, 11:43 PM I kinda like both of these bagger choppers
gtrman66 07-19-2007, 04:53 PM I like the Big Bear! I think it's sharp. I wonder how that new X-Wedge motor is going to work out?
Diamond Lil 07-19-2007, 06:33 PM Here's another. Not my choice, though.

I'm glad you posted that Lil. That is made by a local guy, who fabs all his stuff in his shop in a po-dunk little town near here. He makes all his frames, and all his stuff is hand made.
Brilliant bikes.

I kinda like this one. Fairing had speakers and shit.
Diamond Lil 07-19-2007, 09:38 PM I'll say it again...look at the effort and creativity that went into designing the saddlebags for these rides. Why can't HD do so for us?

Isn't it amazing how these talented people often are off by themselves somewhere?
07NRS 08-02-2007, 08:31 PM Doesnt' Corbin make beetlebags that flow with the lines of the VRod??
dmzx11 08-11-2007, 03:09 PM Doesnt' Corbin make beetlebags that flow with the lines of the VRod??
Yes they do. I have them on mine.

LOL!...u and lux are not allowed...u guys keep gettin in here.:chair:
RidePhat 08-21-2007, 10:45 PM I kinda like the look of the BBC bike. The lines are almost reminiscent of the Comanche bike OCC did a couple of years ago. Pretty sharp bike, I'd show up on one!
VenomousSVT 08-21-2007, 11:01 PM LOL!...u and lux are not allowed...u guys keep gettin in here.:chair:
i know.. i appologize
gotta remember to get max to ban me from this forum only :deal:

Well those Corbin Beetle Bags that Apparently "Flow" with the Vrod lines should hold a couple cups of stomach soup.
(I would comment on if they flowed or not if I could actually SEE the Focking bike undernieth those Samsonite foot lockers)

Wow! That bike is something else! Don't think I'd go with that either but man, that's a sight to see!

Those are sure big enough to hide the bodies in,,,

You should have seen it in person. His Frames are unreal! If I remember right, the rear end had a hidden air ride system. Hill's makes some REALLY NICE CUSTOMS.
capngeo 08-22-2007, 11:15 PM I'm beginnin' to think lux & venomn are "closet" baggers!

absolutely NOT!!!
and round here those are fighting words :box

No sirreee boss... I just read the articles, not look at the pictures:karate :hiding: :bolt
LiquidSilver 08-23-2007, 10:33 PM I think that HD should put a 2 into 1 exhaust on that hangs low enough to put a decent size bag over the top of. Either that or consider a true dual exhaust and put one pipe on either side to better distribute the weight.
The highrise stock exhaust is a big limiting factor on the bag size from MoCo. The limit to the front is the line of the shock... that could be overcome with some creative shaping. Line to the rear, as was said before, should match the curve of the fender. Those changes could easily double the usable space inside the bag and normalize the shape so you can fit a laptop or something more substantial in the bag.
