all touring series bike since 1983 look pretty bad without bags...the 2017 shares much frame with earlier models so is not distinct.
there are some kits and they look pretty much like someone stole the tupperware and glued it to the side of a bike

No bags on a touring Bike, that's crazy, and they look ugly. I'd buy a FatBoy if I didn't want bags.

This is my '13 Road King, not a '17.
But the pic should confirm what others have said - the bagless look is not very flattering.

But seriously, I'm hoping the rumoured Common core frame they are working on will give us more suspension travel, and a better look with the bags off. Polaris manage that with the Indian, how hard can it be?

There use to be an aftermarket company that made a type of replacement panel that was fitted where your haddlebags would fit.
You had to remove your saddlebag supports.
HONESTY THEY MOST LIKELY WENT OUT OF BUSINESSES AS THEY WERE STUPID AND BUTT UGLY!!!
