I too have the 09RKC and love the crap out of it, except the seat and overall heighth of the seat. It's comfortable enough for me(I've done 200+ miles on trip and it was fine. But it feels like I'm on a barstool riding the bike, and only the ***** of my feet touch the road. I'm planning on having the stock shocks cut down and shaving the seat down. The rest is great.

thank you.
I dont know, but if the part numbers havnt changed then thye should be the same. i dont really see why the bags wouldnt be the same. I would suggest you find someone with the bags you want and see if they fit. Failing that just get a set off ebay and if they dont fit re-sell em on ebay.

Once it's on it's okay as it has an internal self contained valve too.
Oh well, it was just an idea. I the whole scheme of things its a small inconveinence when the bike is otherwise fantastic.
