Default Hate it, like it or love it???

Riding season is over for us in the northeast, so I figure it is time to do the mods I have been wanting to do to the old RK. Last week i sold the hard bags I had replaced the original leather bags with. I had them painted to match a couple of years ago, but I've beed wanting to swap them with a set of one touch bags. So I found and bought a set off a 2015 Police Electra Glide for $370 shipped to me, so the swap was pretty much even, after selling my old ones.

Any way, I threw them on the bike with one bolt just to see what they looked like, since I have to reposition the frame brackets. My plan was to have them painted right away, but now I am having second thoughts, as the white on red is really growing on me. The Electra Glo lights on them are not installed obviously, just had them there to see how they looked. I think I have to either replace the light bar with a newer bullet style or get the same type but short, since I already have custom dynamic inserts in them.

What do you guys think?

Makes me think I need to post pics of my RGS with detachable TP that I thought was okay not to paint. And I even have the paint!!!

Hope you got the answer by now.
