SHAD or GIVI Luggage?

Just put the lights back on your bike and enjoy the hilarity.
Oh you talking about the police lighting.. I'm part of some HD police FB groups and I see how close some of those guys rebuild it back to service levels it's insane. They mostly use them for parade duties.

You could probably make me need some new clothes without doing anything illegal.
 
Yes it will likely come down to street glide vs chieftain. Hopefully I can find an Indian owner or dealer to demo. I know a few guys with street glides.
Wow. I cant ever imagine going from an ST to a cruiser unless i was a second ride (or my 80th birthday).

No disrespect intended for cruiser riders, it just not a common leap from a sport bike.
 
Back on topic... I think my next luggage will be soft bags. I’d just got a set of joe rocket soft bags bags for day trips - $150 bucks. They will do for all but multi day trips. No mounting gear required, or use existing racks, a lot trimmer than my Hepcos. Also, I can pop them on anything in a few minutes.

soft tail bags are great too, they pack big when you need them and compact when you don’t.
 
Not for sale quite yet, but i've been thinking about it for a few days. I think i'm over the speed part of riding, i just want to chill out, blast some tunes and enjoy puttering around. Let's be honest the XR is SPORT Touring.

I'll likely end up on a bagger because i still want to tour.
For what it’s worth I’ve had quite a few bikes including a Tuono V4, 600 supersports, supermotos etc. My favourite bike I’ve had though was my Road Glide for similar reasons you list.

The fast bikes are frustrating. Either I’m cruising at reasonable speeds wondering why I’m riding the thing or acting like a complete jackass. You do miss it a little though.

Baggers you just ride. You don’t need fun roads or to go anywhere special.

The way i look at it, can always spring for a track back and get a few weekends in to get the fix if needed.
 
k16B? Still on the sporty end of things and i do want some time on a vtwin.
Yes that, I followed one last year checking it out, kinda nice. Or the R18, that seems very cruiser like.
But yea vTwin (y) ;)

Haven't had seat time on one yet, inline 6 i believe, sounds like a hoot.
