Default Thinking about changing my RKC leather

saddlebags to fiberglass hard saddlebags...Will the bottom mounting tube rail where the RKC saddlebag sits fit the new fiberglass hard saddlebag?

Good question. I'm asking it myself.

I'm wishing my deep woods methhead neighbors would steal my leather bags so I could claim them on insurance.

I want the best of both worlds.....I have a pearl white classic that would look better with matching painted bagswithsquatted azz and a batwing fairing.

Wico, thanks for asking the question cause it got me my answer too.

Now please discuss your front wheel and fender mod....It looks like a 21" X 3.5" with a stock front fender...Is that's true?, andhow does the stock fender fitwith the tire width-wise?

I'm in the deep woods and don't get out much, soI can't see these things in real life.

Thanks

Keith, I just saw a set of pearl white bags sell on ebay. I, to, have been looking for hard bags. I am not tired of the rk custom bags, in fact, I have really grown fond of them, and with the locks, they work and look great. But, I want to add an amp and speakers to my bags, and I am not sure how well that would work with my current bags. I have seen it done a lot with the hard bags, and that is why I am looking for a set. My bike is black pearl, and I would love to find some already painted, for a price I could afford. The search continues.
