I've finally decided to put bags on my 1996 Carb'd RK. I've avoided it for years, but now it's time to luggage up for distance rides with my partners. I am looking for a few things, but haven't a clue where to start:
1- I need a tourpack that can fit two Full-Face helmets. I currently only have a rack and bag.
2- I need the widest-possible saddlebags. I'm running a Thunderheader 2-into-1, so I'm not particularly interested in stretched. I need width for large-item storage, not height for looks.
3- I'm very interested in a detachable batwing, but have no clue where to start. A radio would be nice, but really just need a place to mount the phone and a power drop so I can run Waze or Google Maps while keeping the wind down without that awful windshield.
