RE: Leather RKC bags vs. hard bags, opinions wanted.
must be another one of those "08" up-grades... the leather bags on my anniversary have hard plastic liners, will hold an 18 pack and 2 bags of ice, and even have removable drain plug in the rear. I figure it's either an up-grade, or I have the "NFL TailGate PKG"

Sharkbite, That may be true but with hardbags you can use them as an ice chest on a hot day = cold beer!! Try that with yoru leathers.

I like my leather bags, they easily can hold a 12 pack each, try that with hard bags!

I wonder if this is a solution. If anyone has tried these I would like to know your opinion.

One thing about the hard bags in cobalt blue is that for me itsometimes gets to be just too much color. I think the leather bags would give me the option to tone it down a lot. I've even considered the leather lid covers but for the cost of those I'dbe well on the way to a decent usedset of leather bags.In fairness Ihave to say that this blue has really grown on me, I think there's more metal flake than paintand it borders right between blue & purple so the colorchanges in different lighting;plus I hardly see other bikes this color. It'll need painting in a few years and I'll probably stay with this as the primary color but a white or cream for the 2nd tone. I just won some chrome lowers on ebay for it, whew. I had considered polishing them because they're so crustybut for the c-note I'll skip that fun...and ongoing upkeep.

OK, I know this thread is a little stale, but I think I just proved that the leather bags are better than the hard bags... stopped by the local super to grab a few groceries, saw the new Heinekin 5L keg

Bought it anyway, and YES [&:] it fits ( a little tight, but it fits)
Challenge!!!
Will it fit in the hard bags, OR NOT?
