Super Bike but my old eyes aren't what they once were.  What is the design on the hard bag?

Those are Corbin Beetle Bags, he extended the back bottom end a bit to match up better with the fender. As for design, not sure what you're referring to. Is it the paint design? It's just a flame job across the top with the bottom area painted black with a spike in the center of it. The colors are sorta copper and black with white separation outlines. The seat he tooled himself using the same flame design and white thread to separate the colors. Won first place at InZane last summer.

There's more history to the bike and how it got to the stage it's in right now. But I'll let the owner tell you about it if he reads the post.

Thanks John for your help but I was referring to the Dec. 2010 calendar download (the black).  Something is painted on the saddlebag that I can't make out.  Guess I'm sorta anal but it's driving me crazy trying to figure out what it is.

If you are talking about this one, that is a turn signal, it is not painted on.

Bike belongs to Black Dog up in Wisconsin.

Send him a PM and he can explain what and how he did it.   Seems like he reversed the lights or something.

LPSSON...  RJ's correct.  That is a 'Wedge' marker light, used as a turn signal, that I used when I ditched the old rear turn signal set up.  I wanted to clean up the rear fender, so did a 'Lay Down' license plate, and moved the turns out to the bags...

Nuther view...  (the extra lights on the trunk are LED Turn Signals too)

And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...
