cabreco Posted June 3, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2013 just trying to get some ideas from the gang here... i don't ride with a passenger (or if i do, very rarely). what do you think does the bike look better with or without? thanks in advance... If you're goung to go without I would put a luggage rack from a Sportster back there. It looks naked. I did something like that with my CB750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbikers Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted June 3, 2013 i agree it looks naked......looks a little less naked with the maxi pad. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p14/dbikers/IMG_20130505_193649_164_zps27cabf30.jpg i dont know...i just think the rear makes it look too "fat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted June 3, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2013 I think without....but maybe a back rest would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventureless Posted June 3, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 3, 2013 I would say without as well but with the luggage rack in its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted June 3, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 3, 2013 Unless you add a backrest/luggage rack, I'd go solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi-retired Posted June 10, 2013 Share #15 Posted June 10, 2013 just trying to get some ideas from the gang here... i don't ride with a passenger (or if i do, very rarely). what do you think does the bike look better with or without? . If you're talking about the seat.......it definitely looks better without. Now, this part, you probably REALLY don't wanna hear: I think what the bike needs is a bigger pair of bags. (Part of the reason it looks a little "naked" is that there isn't quite enough "bulk" back there.) Either a nice set of soft/hard Road King-style bags...or off a Softail (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-motorcycle-parts-accessories-HARLEY-DAVIDSON-SADDLE-BAGS-W0QQAdIdZ479696460)....or some larger, buckskin style (scroll down on page http://www.saddlebags.net/roadking.html) Not suggesting you have to spend a grand on bags....but they really DO make a bagger what it is! Good luck with your project. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your project. Mike Semi retired...i couldn't agree with you more on all counts....my budget is the only thing holding me back right now...i want to make a bit of a "bagger" out it with some hard bags (which will need to be painted depleting my wallet of more $$$) I've already taken the rear seat off and rode approx 250 miles over the weekend and i honestly think it the bike did fine. thanks again.
