I'm possibally looking to move to some hard bags for my Road King Classic. I'm not terribly happy withy the room there is is these bags and I'm considering going with larger stretched bags...But I'm looking for the best options out there that you've seen used. Also, are there any modifications that I have to do to mount them onto the stock 2012 FLHRC bag setup to accomidate hard bags.
Thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks

That was one of the immediate mods I did on mine. Had the leather bags for about 2 weeks. The leather ones are wider but not as tall, while the hard bags are taller but not as wide. Mine is an 08 so I don't have 1st hand experience with the '12 bag mounts. I have a vague recollection of my hard bags coming with some bushings/shims (don't know the correct name) small aluminum cylinders of various thicknesses to make the upper brackets stand away from the frame an appropriate amount so the lids wouldn't scrape against the seat when opened and closed. Very low tech, easy to deal with though you might need a trip to the hardware store to get longer mounting bolts.
