RE: Is this possible?
There are three "leather" bags from Road Kings. The RKC with straps to open; the Custom, no straps but a button; and the SE RK bags, different from the others and with a button to open. Any will fit, you will need to adjust the mounting brackets a little when you first put them on. If you go with a detachable passenger backrest you will need a spacer for the rear bag mount(moves the bag away from the fender a bit).
The Glide fairing on a Road King will require almost redoing the bike. Not a good idea. There are many many aftermarket fairings avail for the Road King, most with music capabilities and matching paint (extra$).
Do the RKC with a fairing, you'll both enjoy it.

Somebody had some for sale on the forum several days ago and somebody on here as a blacked out RG with the RKC leather bags. If yoy do a search, you might find both.

RE: Is this possible?
I don't think I've used the fasteners on the straps maybe 3 or 4 times about 6k miles. Kind of like a pair of big tassels on each bag... Yipes!!!!! I did that one time for 50-60 miles and did not like what it did to the side of my bag, are yours just beat to sheet or what ???

None taken Softy, I enjoy talking on here to you guys that have been around HDs for a while, I always learn something new and it helps me "get away" from this place for a little while. I do appreciate your advice and comments. They do not go unheard.
