Default Lowered?

Did you lowered the front/rear of the bike? If so, what brand lowering kit did you use, and did you have to modify the saddlebags?
thanks!

If I am capable of attaching a pic of mine it will be here. If not-you will have to take my word for it

They look like Harley bag bars, which can be close to buckles too, sometimes. ( I brought mine years back)

Bag guards are aftermarket eBay jobs and as Hot says they can be a bit close to the buckles but I found that with a bit of adjustment of the bars and the saddlebag mounts it was possible to get them to clear the buckles.

I think those are hard bag bars? they look too square to be classic bag guards...

2013 RKC black and chrome. Like apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Simple but nothing like it. I also have a 2017 Limited and love my RKC to ride everyday.

Folks....Whiskers here. When I sold my 02 RKC, I warned the new owner that he needed to think about changing the cam chainntensioners on the bike. This is an old subject, and a problem the 02’s had. He took my advice to heart, and got them changed. Here are a couple pictures of how bad the old ones were.
