Are you the same guy that posted a bad a$$ sissy bar fender rack combo made from tubing
Not me.
I'm working on side bag brackets for the High Ball. They mount to the locations where the passenger pegs would go.
I've got them done but adding more parts to these before taking final photos and posting.
Hope to make available for sale.
Also, a new leather bag braket that mounts a bag just behind the solo seat thus making it a nice backrest too.
I'm using The Leather Works bags. They are American made by Americans and very high quality.

So how much insurance do you have 10 million dollar police?

Not trying to rain on your ideas but it only takes one part to cause a accident and some one will sue the hell out of you.

You would be better off selling your ideas to a company that has insurance.

If they say they would not sue you its not up to them who ever insures there bike will come after you
Justsaying
I think we are running 10 million in liability insurance currently.
Yes, I'm in sured.
I make parts for Suzuki Boulevards and ship around the world.
It's just a small part of what my corporation does.
 
Ever considered making high-Ball specific floor boards? Blacked out boards... or mini boards that still function well.... HB logo? Something that would look bad ass on a HB, but help on the comfort side..... Possibly also blacked out heel-toe? Just suggestions and ideas..

Good ideas.

I haven't considered it yet because I've been so behind on getting these other things done.
I mostly reate the things I want to see then react to demand of others.

The comfort factor would help for the High Ball.

I'm a peg guy though and really enjoy my pegs because I would drag boards off the bike. LOL

But I'll give it some thought.

Dragging the boards would just give it a "new/difined/custom/ shape!" Lol
 

What fits the Hball, may fit the Boardwalk too! Keep us posted - ain't much out there or the 'Walk yet. Rear rack with an integrated solo back rest? Another style of engine side covers (how many flames and skulls can there be?)

I am still working on my custom metal brackets and leather bags.

So far, I have the two round bags mounted on the sides. They look great.

Next I'm mounting a single larger round bag above and to the rear of the solo seat.

I'm running a new Mustang Solo on my High Ball now and love it.

Next the Easy Brackets will mount my Leatherworks brand "swing arm bags" that I will use as
saddlebags.

I like that "Pony Express" look on this bike and don't want full floppy saddlebags.

I will have five of The Leatherworks bags mounted when I'm done and two will be able to unlock and slip off
with the Easy Bracket system.

Three will be mounted with my own custom water jet cut and flat black powder coated steel brackets that are one of a kind.

Once done, I will post here and see what you all think with plenty of photos.

You killing me saying there are going to be pics. I want to seeeeeee
 

Ken, When I take my wife riding, only three times for a total of about 20 miles, she is just plain afraid. I was thinking of making low riding handgrips that could easily be detached. These could flow from the sides to a support of a "V" with the apex using the backrest supports, moving up with about a 14-18" rise with a nice curve that would flow with the rest of the bike. Something that could take a small backrest. It's essence would be short padded handgrips and a short "sissybar" backrest that could slip under the front bolts and over the rear bolts to give it plenty of support. Here is a rough drawing of what I'm thinking...

I have completed my five leather bag installs on the High Ball and three are with my own custom metal flat black powder coated brackets.
My plan is to offer these for sale soon.
I'll get photos made in the next few weeks and post them here.
Keep the faith, it's all coming together.

Soon I will offer the custom steel black powder coated brackerts in our ebay store for these new bag mounting brackets for the High Ball.
You can use these on any Vegas or even a Kingpin.

I will post a few photos here showing the new leather bags mounted to the high ball.
The custom brackets I will offer allow the mounting of roll bags to the big in three specific locations.
The behind the seat area, using the stock mounting locations, the passenger foot peg bolt locations for side roll bags.

Keep in mind you can mount anything you want to on the metal brackets. I chose to mount my MADE IN THE USA The Leatherworks
bags.
The side bags that look like Pony Express bags are mounted using standard Easy Brackets and they are removed with a key.
