Deluxe with RKC Bags & Guards... Pics please...
My fellow riders,
I have my deluxe 2012 setup with Road King Classic bags using the cycle visions bracket (pic below).
Now, my next thing is to mount some sort of saddlebags guards, mainly for the look of it. I feel it adds up to the style besides the function of protecting my leather bags.
Question is, will Harley standard deluxe or heritage saddlebags guards work with my setup, or i have to get the cycle visions guards as well.
Would love to see as many pics of similar setup as possible. Thank you...

Don't have any pics or advice for you. Just an observation. Everytime I see large bags on a Deluxe I wonder what is going on with HD. Can they not design a bag with more capacity than a glove box for one of the best looking and best riding bikes in their line up?
I'll probably eventually put springer bags on my bike. But I'm not happy about it. The search for large capacity good looking bags for a Deluxe continues.

Good looking bike. Like the way the hard bags look on your bike. I've seem some hard bag set ups that look great and others that look awful. Yours is definitely one of the good looking ones.

Well your bike looks awesome with the RK bags. I'm also a fan of the RK Classic bags and have them on my 08 Crossbones and 011 Fatboy Lo. Bought both sets off Fleabay, the last set for the Crossbones came with the Cyclevision brackets and were mounted on a Deluxe. He even had the Deluxe badges mounted on the bags sides. Had several people ask why I put a Springer front end on my Deluxe haha. Regular bag guards off a RK won't work because they attach to a down bracket on the fender, at least on the models I've owned which were a late 80s Electra Glide, and an 02 Road Glide008.jpg.

It took me quite a while before I settle on this setup.

It looks t me you you got the Road king Custom saddlebags; which I tried to hunt for, but later settled with the RKC.
As for the guards, I was wondering if the Softail deluxe/heritage guards would fit with my cyclevisions brackets. Cyclevisions has their own guards which they say would fit with the hard bags.

As our bikes and many others have shown, the Deluxe is a great platform to build on, especially for those of us who are shorter in the inseam and don't want to tippy toe the larger Touring bikes around.
