buy them on Ebay....they are there by the hundreds.....you can probably find your color and they mount just like your leather bags, assuming you are talking about a touring bike like a road king.....same hardware, same clips....just switch them out.

I just want to know if its a huge project and where can I find some reasonably priced bags. I saw some at the stealership but I cant justify $1300 bux that way. Anyone know anyone getting rid of some?

Just an FYI on my FLHRS I had to adjust the saddle bag mounts, loosen and retighten the saddle bag rail (underneath) and actualy dremel out the rubber mount on the bottom of the bag a bit. I dont know why I had to do these things, Ive never heard of anyone else having to but I did. Just so ya know if yours dont fit perfect. Fell free to PM me if ya run into any porblems.

You must be reading my mind! I have been looking for some nice hard bags on e-bay for a couple months now... There are lots of them but none I have found to be the right color and in good shape at the same time. The dealer here in SD told me 1000.00 plus my good customer 10% discount
.... Let me know if you come up with a cheep solution!
The only thing I have come up with is getting with a trike manufacturer and see if I can buy there take offs. But soo far they have not been willing to play nice.
Good luck

They are a direct swap. I bought hard bags for my Road King Classic and thought I would swap them back and forth. That was 4 years ago. I haven't used the leather bags since.

Watch Ebay long enough and you will find a set. I have an 01 RKC that is two tone, luxury rich red and black w/ red and silver pin stripes. Ifound a set of "new" take offs from a 2002 Road King,same colors, for $600 shipped. They look great on the bike. I doubt I ever do the swap thing either. The leather bags are tucked away in my closet, I doubt they ever see the back of my RK again.
