new paint new bags

Hey mate, I didn't realise that it was possible to run saddlebags and the factory rack at the same time.
Are they factory bags?

[China twin 88]

that is a factor I didn't know if it would work or not.. as I am in Beijing I actually bought the bags some time ago on a sale .. bundled a few vanity parts to get the shipping, pack em in a big red suitcase and brought back to China.... as to the fitment .....I will try and get some photos ... post em.... but yeah .. we were able to get the rear rack seated with little problem .... yes to answer the question they are the sportster bags offered by the MoCo

Synthetic Leather Saddlebags
Part Number 90330-08

on the battery side, I had a folding number plate so had to go to a center leaning tag display and relocation of signals....was kind of worried as to turn signal clearance of the bag lid .. which has a snap on the rear  but the relocated turn signal caused no real restriction ..  but the sweeping tail design of the lid leaves a lot of room at the back for clearance... which was the main reason I choose those ...

here's my 99 haven't been able to ride it yet because of health issues, but I had a great wrench ride it and all he said was 'Do Not Let an Inexperienced person ride it" He said it wants to come up in fifth gear, one day I hope to ride the "Beast" I purchased Wheelie Bars just in case and I want to install a Stutter Box with an Air Shifter. It actually has :
Andrews N6 Cams,
Andrews 550 springs
Andrews Adjustable push rods,
Wiseco K1682 Pistons 10:1
Kibblewhite Intake 1.71 and Exhaust Valves 1.48
Hooker 2 into 1 Header
Custom Head Work
Heads Shaved a little
manual compression releases
DK Custom open Air Cleaner with Breather Bolts
S&S Super E
Might need to install a chain

Looks good, what pipes are those?
Also on a long ride, do you feel heat from pipes?

Thanks!  They're Storz/BUB pipes that were made for '04-on rubber mount Sportsters but they don't make them anymore.  They're fine when moving, the only time you can feel the heat is at stoplights mostly when it's above 80 degrees out.
