Rear end upgrade for 05 road king custom

I want a 180 tire with a new fender and hard bags. Anyone have a similar set up on a similar year? Where did you get the parts from? What did you make?

The stock saddlebags on my old 2007 RK Custom have got to be the smallest bags for a Touring Bike, period.

Yeah that is a contributing factor to this build. Hard to pack for more than two days in the bags.

I have decided on a FBI 180mm kit. Having trouble finding an over the rail fender I like. I don't want an extended fender. And I want to be able to use the detachable passenger backrest. Any suggestions?
