Newbie trying
I have recently acquired a 2000 road king and I am unhappy with the bags it has (leather looking abs)
I would like to put hard bags on but would prefer the new bags 2014+ that have the release lever on the lid. Does anyone know A. If all hard bags are approximately the same size? B. Will hard bags mount to my existing brackets for the old bags?
If anyone has tried this please let me know level of difficulty making this happen thnx

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!

Hi BM....see below mate.
.This Welcome Area Only section is for, well, welcoming only. Like, introducing yourself and what Harley (hopefully Harley) you ride.
Stuff you are talking about up above in your OP (Original Post), needs to go to the proper and more relevant area to get our riders input.
In the UPPER LEFT corner, just take your mouse and ROLL OVER Forums and come down to the section (or subsection) that you feel is most appropriate. It is that easy.
Thank you my friend for understanding.
It is GREAT to have you here with us.
Warmly & Respectfully,
BuzzCap7
