I like the flow of the RK bags, think they fit the look and curves of the rear...

You'll love the Badlander seat - rode mine for 2 years before I had it recovered and the edges cross stitched (purely cosmetic, nothing wrong with it). I will say, though, your wife may complain that it's not too comfortable. Took my wife out for dinner last week and she said she did not miss riding on my seat (she has her own Sporty now so rarely rides as my passenger).

That should really look nice....then, the 21" front rim when I get shot in the a$$ with gold rocks!!

I know both of your bikes, they have been inspiration to get my bags on!
