Default Which One?
Lov'in the 14" Chubbys. +6 on clutch and +8 on idle/throttle cables if anyone wondering. Did it all weekend or so ago; bars, cables, extended wiring, chrome switch housings, grips, levers, brake cables, etc. Said self, might as well change the fork oil too while have access to fork nut, so I did that also.

Then threw a set of hard bags on, definitely more room than stock hard leather Classic ones. Matching pinstripes. Ordered the locks keyed to bike, so good to go...except, missing the look of the leather...No I don't want to sell the hardbags...just made me curious what ya'll think...which one?

IMHO, the hard bags look better with the current look of your bike. Somehow, I like the look of leather bags on a RKC with WWW tires.
