MG is that a Corbin rear end.. I don't remember the factory coming out with bags like that.

It is. I added the Corbin saddle and what they call their "Beetle Bags." Along with a bunch of other farkles. In fact, I can trace my affliction (farkleitis) to that very first motorcycle.

Really looks good on that Kawasaki. My wife had a Vulcan 900 LT for a couple years. Wonderful bike that did good touring duty.

I have to throw in one of my all time favorite bikes that I owned (GPz 750 Turbo) but was stolen and for obvious reasons. Maybe this was God's way of telling me I was gonna kill myself on this beast! Sorry I did not think to take any pictures back then, was to messed up!

This Bike didn't know whether to wheelie or burn rubber off the line and often it did both!

I loved that 750 turbo. I first got a ride on one at the local racetrack in '83 and I was hooked. The deal killer for me was that insurance cost would have equaled the bike payment. I couldn't afford both It still ranks as one of the more exciting bikes I've ever ridden.

And yet, if you were to ride it today, it probably wouldn't be all the impressive. One of the magazines recently did a piece looking back on the turbo bikes. They all seemed so high tech and high performance at the time, but in hindsight were not all that good.
