True duals....dynojet powervision...supertrapp slipons...

But your newer RK will have a little different setup than mine.

B&E has your Cat free true dual setup....Fulsac has them also.....and the other higher dollar aftermarket exhaust manufacturers...

good timing on the question....I bring my bags to a local leather shop tomorrow.....he will re-dye...seal and polish them for $20 each. Says they will look like new.

(He is also adding a little fringe to the lid edges for me..not too much though...)

I just clean them with a good leather wipe style cleaner...

Dude....I clean my bike real good about every two weeks...can't stand riding such a good looking bike dirty.....lol

That's why they make ghost pipes.
I've got V&H's big radius 2-2 on my king. So that's no pipes under my bags.
