Default Bagless road king. LF inspiration: post yr pics :)

hi from Italy, m8s.
i'm an happy howner of a 2012 RK, and i don't wanna change it.... but... i need something different now: i'm thinking to take off the bags, so that i can have the comfort of a touring, and a look of.. a.... ehhmm.... DYNA. (i know, i know... it's impossible !!!!)
just post me some pics of your bagless kings.... i need to be inspired...

thanx !!!!

It won't look like a Dyna. Touring bikes look like **** behind the bags. Looks so stupid I wouldn't leave my driveway without the bags on.

but.... used twin cam dynas can be had now for under $5K, if a chopper is what you need then build a nice bar hop chopper.

This should inspire you to keep the bags on.

Thank you and that is the only time a bagger should have the bags removed, during cleaning. Hopefully OP will get it but if not he is in Italy so will not see it.

In Europe prices are not the same, the cost of a 2006 street bob is about 11'000$ !!!!! and evo dynas are not below 10k !!!

Note to self, export rather then trade when done!

Hi from the UK! Take care, as shipping to Europe from the US costs a fortune and we tend to have high import taxes on top, which is the main reason prices here look high. A big chunk of what we pay is unavoidable add-on costs.

You might, MIGHT, be able to eventuall get it to look lime that but it will NEVER be as simple as just taking a few parts off or finding aftermarket parts to just slip on. You'll have to find a good customization shop to re work and fab parts up to get the look you want.
Bottom line, you may as well spend that 10k on a Dyna, it will be cheaper in the long run...
