IMag, I have that same model and carry it often. The semi rigid bladder is nice when full and carrying but it does take up a lot of space. One thing to remember is the top vent hole of the cap will leak if you put anything heavy on the bladder or even pressure. I think I gave about 30 bucks for mine at a surplus store (it was new). Right now I have a couple external pouches attached to it--black pack with ACU and Coyote LOL. I think you will find it is great for a day hike.

Hopefully I will get this bike this Summer. Very nice, and I mean very nice!

i like something a little more stripped down, but that looks like a joy to ride.

My last bike was a little leaner. I want the bagger. I plan on making some huge bike trips with my Dad over the next few summer while he is still heathy enough to do them.
A rolling couch is the ticket for 3 weeks of straight riding.

I think you will find it is great for a day hike. i actually bought it for riding. now i don't have to waste saddle bag space on water or stop to rehydrate. i can keep a few other riding items in there and leave the bags mostly empty. i also need to look into a helmet lock.

If it were my Harley I would like to see black forks, black exuast, silver pin strip on the tank nd bags/box, black headlight cover, black wheels, and black signals so it would make the motor and all other mechanical parts POP put when you see it. On top of the tank I would have a little airbrushed Celtic cross in green with a blu background t remind me to make sure all things are right in my life. Man, I wish I still had a bike. The wife says n, but yes to almost everything else. I think she is worried I will ride off for the day and forget to come back home!

I saw one of those blacked out. It looks really good. This is my last bike. Not stripped but leaner than the Street glide. ![[Linked Image from i198.photobucket.com]](http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa315/Stemshot/04vtx.jpg)

A rolling couch is the ticket for 3 weeks of straight riding. So true. Making a long ride on a chopper just makes me hurt thinking about it.
