Naked FLS Exposed
Though it may be blasphemy to some, we are delving into the world of the bagless. While we won't ever be running off to Sturgis without our bags, we really like having the option of cruising around town without bags and looking good while doing it. Sure you can just yank off your bags and hit the road, but it's going to look like you simply forgot them at home. Currently there are a few companies out there brave enough to step up to the demands of a few, and the two we contacted on this subject are Quick Skirts and Bruisers Inc. One is a complete kit that spruces up the stock shocks and hardware. The other is a complete sidecover that conceals the unsightly mess that lies beneath the OE bags.

We liked this kit, because it spruces up the bike even when you are running the bags. This kit comes with chrome shock covers, airline covers, nut covers as well as really nice polished stainless steel and chrome-plated hardware. Also included in the kit are some nicely sculpted FXR-style sidecovers. The quality construction of their stainless steel, push-button exhaust hanger and saddlebag support brackets are second to none.

The name says it all! These sidecovers install in seconds and add a smoothed-out look to the bike. They are made of high-quality, hand-laid fiberglass and come either ready to paint or painted to match your original paint for an added charge. The kit comes complete with all attachment hardware and easy-to-follow directions.
