Older than 2014 RKC leather can be used on the newer models with only a minor modification. The mounting holes on the older bags are very slightly different. Less than a half inch. You can either drill a new one. Or modify the ones on the newer bike. That way you can buy some used ones and save a lot of money.
That's what I'll try to do. I like saving money..... Well let's say I like putting less money in the toy money pit. lol

Honestly, I would run the hard bags a couple of times. You might be surprised and like them. I have an 09 Road King and a 17 Ultra Limited. I have bag liners for both and they work great; however, the single latch on the UL is the difference maker over the two leather straps on the RK. Good luck with your decision and soon to be new bike.
