Just got the tins and new bags installed !!  Cheesy

The red is House Of Kolor's Candy Brandywine and goes from a brighter red/orange around the edges in bright light to a burgundy in less light. There's a scale pattern within the red (as in Dragon scales). The Dragon head on the front fender is ghosted so doesn't show as much in less light, used the flash to get it to pop out for the pic.

Tell me what ya'll think...

1st thing I notice is the bags seem to be set a little high, but that may just be the angle of the pic. The paint colors and scheme is drop dead gorgeous. sweet looking ride.  cooldude

After market bags.  Just saw a set of them this past weekend up at Cheaha and don't remember the make of them.  They have a higher and rounder top.  I did not notice the bottoms before though.

Nice looking bike.  Good job on the bags!  I am in the process of putting hardbags and a M.S. fairing on mine just waiting for the paint to get done.  Mine isn't going to be as radical as yours though just stock red and white colors.  GOOD JOB cooldude cooldude cooldude cooldude

Bags are a little higher than the OEM's, but the pic is from the high side. These are the Tsayaku Strong Bags. I like quick detachables and had Leatherlykes before. Couldnt use the Leatherlyke mounts and place them back like I wanted with interfering with the turns..plus didnt trust the Leatherlyke mounts with the heavier bags. Have the Edge/Ghost brackets on these..have to get use to how the sit out further and at an angle, but still like how they look.

Lightbar is a two piece (upper/lower) from KewlMetal.com. They also made the Flame Fork covers. Your right on the speakers, they're the Kury ones.

Medic,
Real nice job, your bike looks great cooldude
  Two questions.
1. Have you changed your tires on the chromed wheels yet, or is that the first set on the chrome? did you notice any damage to the chrome or corrosion under the bead? The reason I ask is I want to do this, but have been told it will corrode at the bead?
2. Did you shim your bags out? They appear to be shimmed out towards the bottom? I installed the same bags and had to grind a little material off the forward left bracket to clear the rear caliper.
