Hard Bag Question
I currently have a 2008 RK Classic. It has the stock hard leather bags but I am looking at getting a set of hard bags. I have come across a few on craigslist but none of them seem to have the latches. What would i need to buy in order for them to be useable? Is it simply just buying a new latch or do i need to get something from the dealer so i would be be able to lock them? I see where Kuryakyn sells latches but I am assuming these are just latch covers not the actual latch? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest that you keep looking until you can find the saddlebag lids complete with latches. I've seen them on Ebay occasionally.
Set up a search on Ebay for "Harley saddlebags" and "Harley saddlebag lid" and have email notifications sent to you. This way you'll get daily reminders when new parts are listed.
I just did a search myself and found at least one complete set with latches.
