So I finally got around to mounting my Tsykayu saddlebag with the Edge quick release brackets. Overall a pretty easy install. Made a cardboard cutout of the bags first to get the position right. Had the wife sit on the bike to ensure they wouldn't interfere with her comfort (and my sanity!). Had to get longer bolts (M8x95mm) because the ones that came with the kit weren't long enough even though they were supposed to be for the Stryker with the quick release backrest.

The black paint that Tsykayu using is a pretty **** well perfect match for the Raven! Let me know what you think.

I'll get some better pics when the weather co-operates. And the best thing about all my accessories is that they are all quick release. In about 5 minutes I can go from full dressed cruiser to solo chopper! Its like having two bikes.

Looks great! Nice bags. They do stick out a bit. I want to get a pair myself.

Looking good! Hoping to do the same with mine.

Yeah they do stick out but thats a small price to pay for the quick release feature for the bags and the backrest

They look real nice. I noticed your floor jack seems to be the same one as mine. Looks like you have the same problem with it being just a little too narrow for the Stryker frame. I see you improvised with some boards. I've been looking for some iron bar to weld on to mine to lengthen it but the boards will probably be quicker solution.

Thanks man.. I really like them.

Yeah the jack was a little too narrow like you said. That was the quick fix. I may get some board and bolt it to the jack. Just thinking that wood is a little easier on the frame than metal.

Those bags on there look great and flow nicely. Still not a fan of how far they stick out tho.

As for the lift, I have the same lift and bought 2 pieces, 2" piece of aluminum about 2" longer than the frame. Bolted it on and the round stops on the end made the edges flex up a touch. Works well.

Yeah I think they would look killer if someone was to permanently mount them. They flow really nice with the lines of the rear fender.

How do you like the faring? By that I mean does it cut down on some wind and does it fit well? Also does your fairing have stereo or satilite radio with it?

 

[dejablu110]

I like those

The fit is pretty **** good. Getting lots of complements on it. As for a stereo, there is none in it but Hogtunes makes a kit that is supposed to work with the fairing. I'm still fine tuning the adjustment to get the air flow where I want it. I'm 6' and right now its getting me right at eye level. As for the chest, it makes a world of difference at highway speed. No longer have a death grip on my bars trying not to get pushed back off the bike....haha

How are the bags with a passenger? They look pretty big and with the driver back rest so far back I would think it makes it difficult to get a passenger on. Great bags though, where did you get your seat?

Thanks for the comments guys!

No problem with a passenger at all. My wife is 5'10" and she has plenty of room. I had her sit on the bike and made a cardboard template of the bags and positioned them where they wouldn't interfere with her legs but also followed the lines of the bike
