Gosh dang it. Here I went and bought old style bags, had them painted for my flhrc. Wanted to do the new style but read reports that they didn’t fit.

For some reason i seem to think it may be flhrc that you can’t put the newer bags on...

edit...I am getting confused with another mod from long ago. Lowering blocks. Excuse me

What about with the King Tour Pak. Is there any problem with the way the new lids open and the tour pak interfering? I have a removable King Tour Pak on my FLHRC and would like to add hard bags as well. The leather bags are difficult to open with the tour pak on.

Also -- any recommendations on good hardware kits. I see there are plenty on eBay, but which are good and which are junk?
