It only takes about 10 seconds to remove each hard bag. I don't really care for the look without them, but that's just me.
I love my 04 Carb'd Road King and wouldn't trade it for anyother motorcycle.

Good point. I love the looks of the classic, but I think I'll want mags instead of spokes next. I hate cleaning spokes - lol. The custom would be ideal, I think - hopefully it makes a return or I can find a nice used one in a year or two. Thanks for the responses fellas.

Another disadvantage of tubes is that if you get a puncture you can't patch it on the road. This is not a good attribute for a touring bike.

nah . . no way. I hate thelook of the Heritage (no disrespect to any owners!). I think I can live with leaving the bags on, I was just curious as to how difficult it would be to strip her down.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that they hated the look of a Heritage! LOL

I like the way I can swap out my two-up seat for a solo, remove my windshield, and have a totally different looking bike. I love my RKC.

the RKClassic is by far the most "Harley" or all Harley's... if i could have more than one bike in the garage the RKClassic would be the other one... but my needs make a bat wing bike more appropriate for me...

Watch out once you get the "King" fever it never goes away. I love mine, went from an Ultra to the RK. I love the vesatility of the RK, I strip it down most of the time for solo riding but can add my tourpac, rear seat, and windshield for added storage and 2-up comfort. I'm looking into a detach batwing style fairing so that I have tunes for the long rides too.
