Default Saddlebag question

I want to give my Heritage somewhat of a makeover, so which bags have the most room in them. I have heard the Road King leather bags are roomier than the stock hard bags, but I haven't been able to confirm that. Anyone know?

The Road King doesn't come with leather bags. Maybe that's why you can't confirm it. lol

Yes, they do. Take a look at the Road King Classic and Road King Custom.

Had a FLHRS. Now have a FLHR. Hard bags on the FLHR have more room than the leather ones on the FLHRS. Don't know about the FLHRC.

Not a big difference either way. Get the bags you like the best. There are extended hard bags from the aftermarket that offer a little more room than standard bags.

The leather bags on my '88 Heritage are about as big and roomy as I have found.

Ok guys, thanks for the responses. I was thinking the RKC bags because they don't need to be painted. My bike has custom paint and don't want to have color mismatched or have to take it apart and send to Fl to have the co who painted it match color.
