Did you buy them new and if so how much were they? I'm eventually wanting to get stretched bags on my classic, so I thought about selling my leather bags and putting on the stock hard bags to get used to the look until I get the stretched ones.

Whiskers, Thanks. I am going shopping

Looks like my days are coming to an end with the Road King.

I put a deposit down on an 2001 FXDXT, so I have a few more rides with the King before she goes.

El Rey, not trying to pry, why are you getting rid of the King?

I love the bike, just bored and wanted to revamp the bike. But honestly, the costs to do what I wanted to do are high.

It was actually cheaper to buy another bike and do mods to that bike.

Over the past couple years my riding style has changed and the Road King isn't quite cut out for it.
