Thumbs up DL650 Soft Luggage Support (and some new pics too)

Well I ordered a soft luggage support for my strom from:
http://community-2.webtv.net/CHERDAN...omAccessories/

I believe Dan joined this forum too under the name Trailbuster30. http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...572#post184572

Anyways, I just want to let everyone know that he's a great guy to do business with, really helpful in answering questions, and his product is excellent! The look and install could be mistaken for an oem part, it's that good. So take a look at what he has to offer!

Here's some pics of the support (been meaning to take some over the weekend but I got sick unfortunately), which I'll be using in the coming months, but even without bags, it looks good! haha

And here's a few latest pics of my bike heh heh. So far the mods are:

the luggage support (obviously haha)
givi v46 topcase with the 528 adapter plate
oem handguards
givi engine guards
delrin spools/sliders

and for aesthetics, i painted the cover of the muffler black...it just matches better than silver.

Also added a rubber duck above the license plate lamp, for obvious reasons. My personalized plate has already been ordered as well...it'll read "QAKDDUK"

You should post some pics with the soft luggage. Do you have pics before you put in the supports? You could do a before and after.

well i haven't gotten the soft luggage yet. i will when it's time to take a few road trips but i just wanted the support in the meantime. in case of a last minute trip, the luggage is easy enough to get from cyclegear 10 minutes away, where as the support would take longer hehe.

here's the bike before, without the support (when i first got the bike)



and after the support



it does fill in the left side nicely.


Sean, spoilers? *scratches head* haha did i miss something? what spoilers are you talking about?
