How about adding the Nostalgic Saddlebag Guard Rails and Comfort Profile Rear Saddlebag Guards?
Check picture in my signature...The option of adding hardbags is also a good suggestion.

 

Guilty -I have to say that looks like it might be the best way to go, adds a little something to the back of er'. And the screamin eagle leather bag trim doesntfit, already looked into that. Love thescreamin eaglebags though.

 

Guilty, where do you get those bag rails??? i love that look and want to add them to my ride but I didn't see them on the HD website.. and how much are they?

Thanks

If you want to really dress them up try high heels, a really short skirt, tube top and some red lipstick. If that doesn't work for you go with the hard bags.

 

see, you're looking at it all wrong. there are lots of options out there to 'dress up' the hard bags because they need it. the leather bags are just tasteful enough by themselves that they don't need all that fancy dress up. whats that saying? you can put a gloss coat on a turd, but in the end its still a turd..... hey guys, relax, just kidding

 

Looks to me like they're standard hardbag dresser rails.

I found that with the RKC classic saddlebagsthe saddlebag guards were not ideal to open, the belt buckle latchsitsbehind where the guard rail goes across. When my wife would open the saddlebags she would scratch the bags with her fingernails. I ended up opening the saddlebags for her all of the timebecause I didn't want the RKC saddlebags scratched up any more. I ended up replacing them anyhow with the Screamin Eagle Road King leather flame inlay saddlebags with the upgraded lock and that solved the problem completely.

 

Great info Guilty.

Thank you very much..
