A “kit bagger” represents a motorcycle, often a Harley-Davidson Street Glide, that has undergone significant customization through the installation of aftermarket parts and accessories. These modifications frequently encompass performance enhancements, aesthetic alterations, and comfort upgrades, transforming the original motorcycle into a personalized machine. For example, a standard Street Glide might be equipped with a larger displacement engine, custom paint, an upgraded sound system, and extended saddlebags to create a “kit bagger.”
The practice of customizing motorcycles in this manner allows owners to express individuality and improve the functionality of their vehicles. This approach to motorcycle ownership enables riders to tailor their machines to specific needs and preferences, enhancing riding experience and visual appeal. The roots of motorcycle customization extend back to the early days of motorcycling, where owners modified their machines for racing or personal style. Over time, this evolved into a thriving industry with numerous manufacturers and suppliers offering parts and services.
