I'd like to make mine bagless but I'd want it to somehow be a quick release setup so if I want/need them on then it would be a few minute task to add on the bags again.

I think bagless the Road King looks like an old bike.

I think the RK looks badass...and not every kid on the block will have one. I'm surprised I don't see that more often.

I bought a wrecked road king and did this about 8 years ago.
Unfortunately I wasn't thinking to take pictures back then.
What a blast to ride without the weight.
Didn't look right, but I didn't care.
Makes me think the factory should have pulled off another limited FXR run with twin cam power.

Maybe I am a dummy as I haven't finished my coffee, but it would be nice if the website showed decent/detailed pictures of their parts installed on the bikes.

EDIT: after a few more sips of coffee, here are the pics http://www.bruisersinc.com/PictureList.php4

They just don't look right to me no matter how much I try and like them. Kings without a windshield looks great, just like Ultra's look great with tour-pak off for single seat riding.

W/O bags it is like a big picture frame back there with the picture taken out. Just my

I like the look but I use my bags too often to get rid of them.
Maybe build it like that EG, but add some of the flat pony express style bags to keep teh lighter look at the rear.

Can't remember who makes them but they were skirts that covered the area of the saddlebags.
