Look up NC D'Luxe's bike and say that. They're gorgeous. Each to their own. Thanks for not paring your ride but your opinion instead.

I would have to see an example of one, but I can't imagine it looking any good.

WHY?
This is my first bagger, and I'll never go bagless again.

The bags are great, but I like switching it up when the urge strikes, too. Most riding I do is weekend playing. Taking the bags off slims her down and gives a smaller footprint. Check out this website for ideas.

A guy asked me one time, "That's a Deluxe, right?" Kinda funny!

Good Luck

Isn't a RK minus the bags just a Fatbob? Except uglier? Just Kidding, I know they are different platforms, but seriously I have not seen an RK that looked good w/o the bags. JMHO
