Default Road King Saddle Bag Switcharoo

Maybe a dumb question. If so, well then so be it. Do the saddlebags on a Road King and a Road King Classic fit the other model without mods? For example could I take the hard bags off a Road King and fit them right on my RKC?

Yes you can, and I plan to do just that so I have a pair of hards and a pair of leathers. I 'll just get the hards off ebay and get em painted 2 tone root beer to match.

I have a set of hard cop bags for my FLHRC. I like to switch them up and change the look of the bike. The only thing you will have to do is adjust the brackets. Nice and easy.

I have both hard and soft bags. Hard for traveling, soft for cruising.

This is what the Road King Custom bags look like on a Deluxe. Way better than the normal bags for that model.

Those are Road King Classic Bags....

Adjusting the brackets is all it takes. Its easiest to take a sharpie and put a little tell mark on the brackets and the frame so you can quickly change back and forth. Its a pain in the butt to get the brackets lined up if you plan to switch back and forth regularly.
