I would like to find a set of hard bags for my RKC. I really liked the leather wrapped ones when I bought it, but now I think the fit is lousy. I ride mine to work daily, and I’ve noticed the plastic is starting to warp from the sun. (I’ve only had it 5 months, I can only imagine what will happen in a couple years.) I plan on painting my bike so I don’t care about scratches or paint color. The dealer wants over $1000 for new ones. I don’t do ebay anymore. Any ideas?

 

Did you check Ebay?

 

Swap meets. Be forewarned though I havent seen a decent set of late model painted bags for less than 450. I want a set for my RK custom.

 

Too bad ya missed these https://www.hdforums.com/m_128586/tm.htm


FYI 2005 and later bags arent fiberglass anymore, they are plastic. Personaly I think I would prefer fiberglass. If the fiberglass got a crack or gouge it can be patched. I dont think the same can be said for the plastic.

 

Good to know. Thanks. I can fix fiberglass.

 

Call Rocky Mountain HD and ask for Rob in service, he runs a used parts business on the side. I spoke to him about a Clearview windshield for my Road Glide because he has the same bike as me and is in their ad. We talked for at least a half hour. He seems real helpful and loves to talk Harleys. Maybe he can help you out. Here is the number.

HEY GUYS DO THE HARD BAGS HOOK ON TO YOUR BIKES IN THE SAME PLACE OR DO YOU HAVE TO BUY HARDWARE ALSO? JUST A QUEST. I ALREADY HAVE HARD BAGS...LOL

 

As far as I can tell they do. The quick detach hardware can be ordered for earlier models. There is a lot of adjustment in the hardware. If not, I can bend up some stainless gauge metal.

 

IF your still interested, my boss's dad is retired & takes HD's & converts them to trikes. We have several sets of hard bags for sale, was going to start putting them on ebay. We have a white set, 3 black sets & a blue & silver set. Also anything that is removed to make a trike is for sale also, bag guards, rear wheels, exhaust, rear fenders ...etc.etc. Let me know if anyone is interested.Most of the stuff is off brand new bikes. I enclosed a picture of a couple sets sorry about the dust.

Plastic can be welded for cracks and gouges by a competant body shop
