Soft luggage options advantages disadvantages

I see that.

It's a neat job...but I'm loathe to start tampering, style-wise, with a more-or-less faithful reproduction of the 750. Right now I'm entertaining putting the rear signals on a pipe; and hanging the pipe behind the license plate, somehow.

Alternately I'd put a third set of signals, LEDs, probably, on the license-plate bracket like you have. Keep the originals where they are and work-around hanging saddlebags or a tank bag. Unloaded...I'd just have two sets of blinkers out back. Nuffin wrong with that...

My 1982 CB750C had turn signals mounted behind the license plate from the factory.

The Fehling baggage holder, I mounted at my CB, contained a replacement kit, to move the signals to the back light/licence plate.

I managed, to install the (lengthend) cables thru the channel in the rear fender.

Well, then I thought for a long time, that I don't need saddlebags at all .

But finally last week, I decided to buy these:

Looks quite good to me, seems to fit to the character of the bike. I'll post some pictures the next days.

Django..really like the look of your bike. What a great looking sport tourer. Is the luggage rack the Fieling?

I couldn't find a rack in my neck of the woods but a local motorbike shop made one with help of photos off the net.He also moved the lights ,made the nudge bars and mounted the spotlights.

I don't know what happened there,i'll try again

Yes, that's the Fehling luggage rack. It comes separate from the Fehling baggage holder and can be mounted without moving the signals.

Here is a picture of my bike from last winter, with only the rack mounted:

My wife likes the support of the bar at her back, when riding at the pillow. However that's a very rare case (2 times since I have this bike), usually I go solo.

And here are some pictures of the saddlebags at my CB:
