hard bags on RK Classic...Whos has done it?
OK, I know it's a sickness but I have just bought a set of hard saddle bags for my Road King Classic. My thoughts are that I can cange the "look" of the bike periodically just for grins.
I have no plans to sell my leather bags & nostalgic rails.
Who else out ther has done this and do you really change out the bags once in a while or have you settled in on one style over the other and just wasted big bucks?

i actually found an (almost) perfect pair of cobalt bags for my 06 RKC. bought them for $200! another $50 to have a key made for the locks too.
from the day i took the leather bags off, theyve sat on my shelf. i get nothing but compliments on the hard bags/wire wheels and wide white walls

I have a 2006 RKC problem is the bag guard bother my short legged significant other, I've move the foot pads up one notch but the guard still hits her calves. I would put her legs in a stretching machine but I like her legs just fine the way they are. If I put hard bags on it will I be able to get rid of that front guard and use a lower one?

senor- you can eliminate the rear crash bar with the leather bags. i bought my rails for $50 from a forum member and the rear pegs from a friend for $100 (from a SG)
HD also makes a low profile rear crash bar
