All I can say is Wow.
I wish you would make a youtube video and do a slow walk around so we could see all the mods.

That's nice stuff! Great looking bike to. I had the same bags on my first Valk. Lining them up and drilling them was the tough part. I used their mounting system and it was a touch challenging but worked great. Maybe easy brackets would have been easier?

I hope the easy brackets don't lead to "floppy" bags when they are full... some mounts include a crossover that hooks the bags together behind the wheel... -Mike |

I like the Easy brackets because I also have a custom made pair of leather bags, they also have the Easy brackets on them and this allows me to change the look of the bike in less than a minute.
However I must mention the Easy brackets on the hard bags didn't work like I thought they would, from behind they "flared" out at the bottom, the bracket has a slight flair and it might be the back of the hard bag, anyways went to a metal fabricator and he made me new ones, now they look straight from behind

Amazing custom work. You made that one your own. That's passion illustrated right there!

No, I'll be at Americade from June 5-12, I live 3 hours from Lake George and love this rally, wish Inzane didn't start so close to Americade, oh well some day maybe. Have a safe and great rally |
