This report is a summary of several items including replacing the stock leather Silverado bags with new color matched hard bags from Yamaha and a ride over Ortega Hwy. to Fallbrook. These new hard bags are much bigger and hold lots more, so that I can remove the Tail bag and nearly everything fits in the new hard bags. I also moved the red reflectors and PASHNIT sticker from the other bags and they are sticking to the new bags so far. On order are chrome saddlebag guards to help protect the new bags in case something should cause an impact with the road.
I decided to try and make the changeover myself and it went quite smoothly.
ORTEGA HIGHWAY TO FALLBROOK ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING RIDE WITH WAYNE, TOMY AND RICHARD We met at El Toro Road and head for the Ortega Hwy before it gets too hot. This was my best ride on the Ortega with my new skills on mountain roads still holding. Wayne set the pace and we could have sped up a little bit but it was a comfortable speed. Just a few pictures at a turnout overlooking Lake Elsinore.

Richard congrats on the new hard bags they look great. I've been debating what to do about luggage on the Vulcan 800 I now have.
Sounds like the new riding skills are serving you well. You'll have to show me the next time we ride together.
