    "Intruder-Cade"

    Not exactly a project but I have fitted the luggage off a 1986 Suzuki Cavalcade on my 2000 Suzuki LC 1500 Intruder. It's a common mod for Intruders if you can scrounge up the bags. Looking more and more like a barco-lounger but tons of storage. Even got the original soft-bag inserts.

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

      Looks to be very functional.

          Nice. My dad has a 1500 intruder he put over 80,000 miles on ran like a top. That would have been a great mod.

            I have always liked the looks of those bags, especially the tail lights/turn signals.

            From one who has adapted bags from another bike to another who has done the same, I say "looks GOOD"

            Two of my three adaptations can be seen in my signature.
            - '82 GS1100GK bags and trunk on my '80 GS850G
            - Early (unknown year) Harley bags on my son's '82 GS650GL
            The third was installing a Harley Ultra Classic trunk on my '84 Kawasaki Voyager.

              Yeah, the added lights are probably my favorite feature. I now have 3 running lights and 3 brake lights. Also, 4 turn signals (or 2 on each side, however you count them.)
