bummer, I dont want the tour pack on it always just for some long weekend jaunts, but I want the color to be the same. I could go with the black one but dont want it to look out of place with the smoky gold color, even though half the tank is black. Well Looks like I wil just go with the t-bag for trip luggage. THought the full dress look might look good on the RKC, but I guess it is not meant to be. THanks.

At that point I would say the contrasting black pack to match Your head lite would match much better than a color 4 or 5 shades off. ndfrspd
