If you can shuck the fairing and bags and it still looks like a normal bike then it a'int a bagger to me.
so by your definition, a road king is not a bagger. nor is a road glide. to me a bagger is a bike, set up for touring, that has bags as 'standard'. not just add ons. a sportster with bags is not a bagger conversely, a road king with a windshield is a bagger.

A Bagger to me is all of the HD Touring Line bikes, A Softail with aftermarket saddle bags is a Softail with bags, period!

I consider my RK a Bagger but not a Dresser. I always thought of Dressers
as HD touring bikes with everything but the kitchen sink on them.

There are baggers and then there bikes with bags, never the two shall be confused with each other.
