Has anyone here ever seen a R3T with the bags removed and the bike customized to look more like a stripped Harley bagger? I wonder what one would look like? New brackets to support the mufflers and pull them in closer to the bike would have to be built, but it might not be too bad of a configuration. Kind of like a slammed, wide rear tire, low rider custom look. Could use drag bars or ape hanger handle bars. I've seen a lot of Harleys set up like this and was just thinking,,,,,.
I would be interested too in seeing what someone could come up with.
Yes, supporting the mufflers would have to be improvised,maybe a custom cut rear fender, and a nice fat 205 car tire on the back, would look sharp!
There is a German Rocketeer called Hardy Welker.
He has a very nice site: www.schraubersite.com
I know he made a Bagger from his Touring
He also place several films on youtube were you can see has bike.
In this one the Bagger will show up:
all im interested in is how wide of a tire and how low of a tire i could put on the rear of a 2013. need to do everything i can to lower it from stock.
People are putting 200's on them at least and I don't think there's much holding you back from putting the thinnest tire you can find on it. Except that it won't turn as much before scraping I guess.
It is, but there are baggers and baggers. I suspect in this thread the term is used to describe the exaggerated variant that are very low in the back and higher up front.
