Saddlebag or no?
Deciding whether I should add saddlebags (and a crashbar) or just keeping the build like this. I can see either one working, might be a little too busy with the sissy bar already in place, but if I had saddlebags I wouldn't need the ugly tactical pouch I currently have on the sissy bar. Lmk what y'all think.

I’m usually against getting them but if you get your hands on some maybe medium sized ones that’d be rad

Yea, I've been going back and forth since it's kind of a club style now, so I can see it with or without

What about the plastic kinds that have break lights built in? You have a pic of your build for reference?

i just posted a pic on here if you wanna zoom in and check it out. i know if you scroll down, i snagged the viking bags idea from a user on here. id personally stay away from those. personally. i chose the harley dyna with the shock cutout 32L bags and they look and store great. i know other people have used ammo cans too.

I’ve got crash bar saddles and sissy on mine I think it looks badass

Got a pic?
I'm debating getting the large 32L saddle bags from viking or the Yamaha ones that are slightly smaller.
Would need a turn signal relocation kit though. Didn't realize that all these bike parts and kits can get expensive lol, first bike and some of these small parts cost more than my Benz parts

I have bags but I remove them after every long trip I have, along with the sissy bar, because I like to keep the bike slim and empty. It's an agile bobber-like bike so I don't really like the packed look on it.
