This is pretty much the way I brought my Kingpin home after purchasing it from the dealer. When I test rode the Kingpin it was way to quiet for my liking so I had them install a stage 1 package before I took it home.

 

 

This second pic is how it looks today.

  The handlebars are mini apes, 2" extension for the floorboards, memphis shades windshield & lowers, rear floorboards for my lady, Tsukayu hard bags, stage 1 drag pipes and turn signal mirrors. I kinda think the stock turn signals are butt ugly so I removed them and for the front I tried some wrap around the fork style and the rears I went with a set that fits inside the slot  the stock ones poked through. The front wrap style are going to be removed as the 2 sided tape will not keep them on securly.

  You will also notice that the cheese wedges have been removed to clean up the engine apperance and get a little more air to the rear cylinder for cooling.

The left side comes right off with a few bolts but the right side had to be cut off of the oil lines and cleaned up with a die grinder.

 

 

I also had to make a bracket to relocate the ignition switch.

 

  Another little mod I did was to cut off the heal shifter as my size 15 foot kept knocking the bike out of the gear I wanted. The time to do this mod was a bit over 3 hours just to make it look as good as stock.

 

  I still want to do something with the stock air box and I need to go with a Mustang seat for the long haul rides and I'll end up getting a Tsukayu truck as well. I may even install a MSD ignition system for a better spark for the plugs.

 

Very very nice. those bags are a perfect match for the lines of the bike. I like the Apolon badges as well. very clean machine!   

Great job with the custom work.  I like the clean lines and lack of frill!  

Does look great.  Really like the bags.  They are on top of my short list.  Very clean.

Im already planing to add a KINGPIN to my stable next year. The Tsukayu bags are on the list too. Very nice seeing your bike tells me Im thinking right.

These bags are the smaller ones they offer (26 quart) they came out with a 40 quart size about 2 months after I purchased these. be sure to get the upgraded latches when ordering your bags.

Very nice...great job!

Nice set up.

cool . very nice like the bags.

Nice and clean looking. Do the 2" extensions make a noticeable difference? i have thought about them myself but can't phathom it making enough of a difference to be worth while..my last bike didn't have a highway bar because the forwards I had moved the controls 5" forward and 2" up...a very nice relaxed riding position.

I found it made a difference to me, but I may make some about 4". I still feel kind of cramped

Did you use the Vic bag mounting hardware or did you have to buy "universal" bag mounts. I know the bag manufacturer ships the bags undrilled You didn't happen to take pictures as you mounted did you?

  I used the quick release mounts for the soft bags, (see my topic 2006 Kingpin) there is a pic of the back plate I made to mount up to the quick release. I don't recommend going that route.

  I am going to use the mounting brackets that came with the bags as I dropped my bike and broke the left side mount ($150.00 screwup) and I need to refinish the left bag.

  I failed to take pics of the holes I drilled, I'll see if I have any pics that might help, or better yet as I'm going to redrill the bags and use the brackets that came with them i'll get some pics as I do it this time. It'll be next mounth before I get to it though.

I must agree those bags suit that bike to a "T"

Very nice setup you have there and those bags are perfect for that KP.
