Default Anyone run without saddle bags??

Searched and searched, but find nothing on this question... I love the leather bags on my RKC (much better than the hard bags 8-]), but every now and then I would like to run without them at all...

I am sure others do or have done this... it is just that, well, without the bags the bike just doesn't look right.

Any suggestions on how to temporarily improve the look without the bags??

Thx...

Nope. There are a few aftermarket shops that cater to cleaning up a FL without Saddlebags... But I think they still look "OFF"!

I much prefer the hard bags,and those Harleys are beautiful no matter how you dress them..Bare baggers look like they want to play especially the hot rodded ones.

Heres a few options. You can look around the forums and see lots of talk on these things.

As previous poster wrote, check out those options otherwise it'd look just plain out of place to me personally.

Thanks, guys! That is exactly what I was looking for, CGonzgo.

Can seem to get a price on the first ones. The last ones run $500, a little pricey.

Anyway, great info... thabnks again.

I think they look kind of neat but I use my bags sooo much! Now if you think try saddlebags look funny. I am running with -1 bag right now. Should be in this week! You won't believe all the people who asked me why I only have one bag!

Sorry for the Hi-Jack.

Baggers without bags look naked unless you do the aftermarket thing. The quick skirts really look good... I though about it...but I NEED my bags.
