Hi all - I'm soon to be the owner of a set of Interstate Saddlebags, on my 2000 standard, thanks to Toby!! They are coming to me professionally primered, and I'll need to paint them. Not a problem - have quite a bit of painting experience behind me.

However, I saw a picture of a set of hard bags, on a red and black Valk, that had custom paint on them. Not sure if they were Tsukayu bags, or stock bags, or what, but the main thing was the paint - it followed the theme of the tank paint, with the "arrows" along the top/sides, that the tank has, with the "arrows" up at the top of the saddlebag, and lot's of curvy lines, if I remember, that matched the tank MUCH better than either the Tourer or IS paint, in my opinion. I THINK I saw it here on the forums, but maybe not. I saw it before I decided to get the hard bags, and just filed it away mentally, not saving to the hard drive. Regret that now!

So, if any of you know whose bike that might be, or where I can find a picture of the bags, it would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Or, if you know of ANY bags that have custom paint, that blend well with the stock tank paint, I'd appreciate those, as well. I'm just not fond of the stock Tourer or IS paint, as the rest of the bike has nice curves, and they are just too "boxy" for my tastes, although the IS matches well, due to the trunk, which I won't have. But I'm not an artist. I can DO anything, just can't dream it up...

Hokay - MIGHT have found the pic I was looking for, as it fits the bill. I thought it was black and red, since mine is that color, but this is regardless very close to what I am looking for. Of course, if anyone has some better ideas, I'm still open... Roll Eyes Cheesy

I seriously considered something similar on my new to me bags, but I chickened out. I was afraid it would be too much white on them. I went with the interstate theme.
