I don't want to go from my leather bags, I would simply like to add a set of hard bags to the collection.

Why? In part simply because they exist. The quicker access and quicker closing up of the hard bags compared to leather bags is also nice. As is the slightly superior security, especially if locked.

I'd add that the hard bags are more waterproof, but honestly my leather bags haven't leaked yet. Which does surprise me.

 

It's along shot but are you still looking to trade for leather bags?

 

Getting ready to put a set of hard bags on my RK Classic as well. Bike is black so the bags are easy to find.

 

I know this is an old thread,sorry.... Will 07 leather bags fit on my 2016

Thx in advance,ride on.

 

Not directly. Although H-D now sells the RKC style leather bags for your year King.
