Default La Rosa solo bag with fuel can

I just put on my new La Rosa Rustic Black Solo Bag with Spare Fuel Can onto my 72.



That one is their newer solo bag with the fuel can. I just wanted to post it up for anyone out there looking at the solo bag with the fuel can, so you can see how it fits the bike. Like most with the La Rosa Solo Bags, I put the buckles for the straps on the inside. I also put spacers on the passenger peg brackets so the peg clears the bag and the peg can be usable. I only put 1" spacers, most put 1 1/2". My ol lady got on the bike and it seems fine.


You can also see my fuel tank I am making out of a fire extinguisher, it should be done this week. I am welding a bunk that goes with a gas cap and then getting it chromed.

It's funny, I have a big red primus fuel can on my bag that gets mistaken for a fire extinguisher. You're actually putting an extinguisher on your bike. OK, not funny, just amusing to me.

Do you have any rear shots of the bag? Curious how it fits with the shocks...I have RK shocks and if I remember the body of them are bigger than stock shocks. Also is the bottle holder removable?

Here are some pics from the rear:







The bottle holder is detachable. It has some buttons and the straps with buckles go through the bag itself. Looking at it in person up close, you can see the bottle is pushed a little bit out because of the shock. but eh, I don't mind. I need the extra fuel with my tiny gas tank.

I meant to put "bung", that's what the thing the gas cap goes onto. It does have a vented gas cap tho. I have no worries about the venting really.
