I'm not sure they will take them on trade, so you may have to sell them on Ebay. However, I think solid bags would look great on your bike, painted up to match. I have seen some of the bags that were "stretched-out" and molded around the pipes, etc. on some RK show bikes. Very cool.

Shouldn't be that hard, a lot of guys including myself when I had the RK would like to trade with you.

I'd keep the leather bags. That way you could change the look of the bike occasionally.

I'm thinking of getting a set of RK Classic leather bags for mine. My bike has several different configurations I can use now (detachable stuff). That would add to it.

Ape - not sure if this would help you - I have nothing to do with this auction - Please don't think this is a personal endorsement - was just thinking if it was cheap enough maybe you could keep both sets

Your bike looks GREAT the way it is! Why do you want to trade bags?

I would prefer to have both types of bags but impatience is making me wanna trade. Ill hang on to my bags and buy a set of hard bags later when I can afford them.
