Talking Quick detatch ?
I was wondering if the leather bags on the RKC are a pain to take on and off for cleaning the white walls. It's a PITA on the Deluxe - clean a lil, back up repeat. LoL. Thanks for the help guys.

No...it is a simple half turn of two pins and they pop right off...just like the hard bags.

Put a Cycle Visions Bagger Tail on your Deluxe with a set of RK Bags and they will come off the same way with 2 bolts or 2 Dzus fasteners in under a minute and you would more than double the storage that you have now with those HD Bags on your bike.

You would also have to change out the pipes...

Yeah, but I like these bags. They do that tuck 'n roll look like no other.
