Re: loud exhaust.

If you find yourself in a place where noisy exhaust isn't appreciated feather the throttle and watch your revs; few will notice. When in the sparsely populated countryside wail away, now you can hear, and feel, the power. Just a matter common courtesy and respect.

I have a 1.7 liter Victory Vegas 8 Ball

Best.
 
No suggestions on side bags.
I would probably be looking at some kind of Tail Pack strapped to the seat.
There are also tool bags that can be strapped to the grab bar behind the seat, if it's still in place.

Ride Report: Nylon Panniers

I got quite a few comments about the panniers I set up for our recent NOCNZ rally, and I was so happy with how easy they were to set up and use, I decided to post a mini ride report on them for the 1500 mi/5 day trip I took. I got the idea for using these from @worntorn as he posted a while...

Never seen anyone do that before or since?

I have absolutely no intent to sell it but it is hard for the daily commute. Have to travel from Brea to San Fernando daily it is about 50 miles one way so I am thinking about buying a scrambler for the daily travel as it will be a little easy on my back.
Let me try the Donut thing I hope it will do the trick.
