Default Hard Bags On A Road King Custom

Anyone put hard bags on their Road King Custom? I just bought one today and thought they would look really cool on it. If anyone has, do you have any photos?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,
&nbsp\\;

Direct swap...simply readjust two bracket mounts using 1/2" wrench.

I recently gave away a pair of hard police bags to a dude who went down after hitting a possum........glad I did cuase I prefer the leather custom bags over my stock classic bags.
&nbsp\\;
If you end up with a pair of rk custom hard leather bags you don't need, then PM me and we might work out a deal.

i found a pair of cobalt hard bags and bought them for $200- i put them on my RK Classic in about 5 minutes and the look is totally different.
&nbsp\\;
the only thing i need to get around to doing is having the bag locks re-keyed
