Question: What is the model of the Viking Saddle Bags you have and what mounting system did you use?

The bike looks great! Good work jackryan172!

Question: What is the model of the Viking Saddle Bags you have and what mounting system did you use?

I used Viking large hard bags. I used the mounts that came with it, although I did have to go to Home Depot to get shorter bolts because the ones in the kit bottom out against the frame.

Here's the link to the saddle bags:

Just got the forward controls from Thailand. Now just gotta figure out how to install them!

Came from Thailand via New York. Talk about taking the long way around to Arizona!

Where did you purchase these from?

Forward controls? From ebay. Pock Phd. Great guy really knows his stuff and very helpful. Here is his current sale:

Street 750/500 Forward Control Set

Thank you for the link, these look like great quality and they are at least a little cheaper than the US alternative(s). Which would be more comfortable with drag/clip on bars? I'm having trouble deciding on rear sets or forward

Happy with forward controls, with modification.

I purchased a forward control kit last winter and finally got time, weather, healed shoulder, and nerve to mess with the brake a few weeks ago.

Fits me better now. I am 6 feet even tall (183 cm). I have 12 inch progressive shocks. I was able to take off my Tall Boy Seat and return to the original seat (although I have a Corbin on order). With 12 inch shocks on the back, the center of gravity has gone down. And the ride is smooth.
I did find out that the pivot of the brake pedal is now the lowest point on the bike with a good right hand lean, which led me to stiffen the suspension a little. (might have to go back to 13 inch shocks, if it keeps happening.)

One odd thing with the kit was that in the shipped form, the brake and shifter levers were reversed. The shifter lever is longer than the brake lever and in the original conformation my big old, fat foot would never have fit between the footpeg and the lever.

And I would have had to stretch pretty far to get to the brake.

Took some puzzling to get the parts to fit just right, but got them all back together and in good position to operate the shifter and the master cylinder.
