I also plan to make my nighthawk into a "sport tourer".  I was looking
at the official Hondaline catalog today.  I was very disappointed.
They have a set of hard Saddle bags that are made to match the bike that
don't look too bad.  They also have leather and cloth soft saddle bags.
These didn't seem like such a good deal.  Their engine guards and luggage
racks are both chrome!  This is for a bike with no chrome at all from the
factory!!  They don't even offer black.  I guess I'll do without engine
guards, and I'll buy aftermarket bags.

There is no Hondaline fairing for the bike yet <maybe next year>.  I'm
also want to find out about this as I ride about 8000 miles a year,
12 months a year in PA.  My old Hawk has a Quicksilver that I'm very
happy with, problem is, it just won't look right on this bike.

So who makes the best Saddlebags??  And just how am I supposed to carry
around my extra helmet without a sissy bar??  The manual says not to
use the helmet lock while riding.
