Beautiful bike and different!! I love that paint scheme and like those bags. Are you using EZ or Ghost brackets? |

UPDATED with a few more photos... https://picasaweb.google.com/103917731019176896112/PHOTOSVelosityStacksFiltersAndGizmos?authkey=Gv1sRgCIPM0tHGn4iQIQ# The 2-1/2" PVC Tubes serve two purposes... 1.) To fill in the gap between the bags and the bottom of the OEM Saddlebag mounts.  See the last photo, a "before the PVC" showing the gap under the Saddlebags. 2.) To carry "stuff" that would fit in there.  This is a work in progress. The "front" of the PVC pipes must be shortened by about 3 inches. I have caps for both ends (not shown). The caps screw on / off at both ends.  I am also considering whether chrome pipe tips would look good sticking out of the underside of the bags. ??? The bags are mounted on some used crappy pieces of easy brackets. There is no keys or locking mechanism.  Need to work out some other way to secure the brackets in place.  Thanks for the praises. She is a good girl.  |

There are several wind shields shown. The small Dark-Shield is a "National Cycle Flyscreen." It is Just a good looking high quality piece. No real benefit from it as shields go. ??? Sorry, I don't know, what "thingys" are... Bare w/me, I am language and culturally deprived!  |

They are the exact same circumference as the stock covers. Their height is perfect. They are short enough wherein you just apply clear Silicon and seat them on top of the OEM round covers. When I got them in my hands I was shocked 'bout how small they are!  No tank removal necessary. Any rubber on the bottom? Just cut it off and clean both surfaces, apply clear silicon and glue them. That's it, You are done inside 35 minutes with your favorite beverage in between. Leave them alone for a couple of hours. I gave them 24 hours. I bathed her yesterday and they feel planted solid as a rock. NOTE: Unless your Dragon is seating up straight, you'll need to use tape to prevent the left ones from sliding off. The Black wheels are a 45 min Rattle Can job. Satin Black. It is holding on perfectly under all conditions.  I like them.  https://picasaweb.google.com/103917731019176896112/PHOTOSVelocityStacksFiltersAndGizmos?authkey=Gv1sRgCIPM0tHGn4iQIQ |

I used 3M Body side molding double sided tape to attach mine....You could turn the bike over pulling on them....Be sure to buy 3M you get what you pay for the body side molding double sided is about $14.00 a roll. |
