VN900 Dresser

[andyvh1959]

I bought that 1978 Pacifico Shadow fairing and Kutter saddlebags on CL for $80. The fairing needed some repairs, and I modded it to install a stereo. What I learned from modifying the fairing lead me to apply ideas to the saddlebags to mount them using the stock Kawwy mounts. All that has lead to me developing mounts for the Nomad bags I'm modifying for my VN1600 Classic, without using any of the heavy complicated Kawasaki bag mounts. My goal is to have a system to remove the bags in minutes with no obvious hardware showing with the bags off the bike. I plan to have a similar fairing on my 1600 with Nomad bags with a Harley copy tail trunk, all to have a dresser weighing less than 800 lbs. The fairing has the gauge set of a VN1700 Vaquero mounted in it, and the windshield will be short, like the bagger style. Si I'll be able to run the bike full dresser style with the bags on or off and same for the tail trunk.
