Skull,

I also put an H-D overnighter on top of the rka bag & tied it down with H-D bungee cords. Went 1900 miles on a 4 day trip from LA to the Utah HOG rally in June. Worked great & it didn't scratch a thing. Unfortunately, the pic from Utah is too big to send on this site. I also removed the filler panel around the headlight because I use a Headwinds headlight housing & a detachable H-D windshield for the long trips.

WFP,

What pipes are on your SED in the pic.  Are they straight pipes or have baffles?  I also have a deuce (03 silver/blk).  On the topic... wife and I rode from Portland, OR to the 100th party 2-up on the deuce.  With saddlebags, lugage rack, rack pack another bag bunggeed to the rack pack along with our extra coats.  We had enough onboard for a week at a time.  Best ride of my life!

V&H Big Radius...they are baffled, sort of, but not removeable as far as I can tell...but I may have read somewhere that someone did remove them.

Here's my thread on them:

I love 'em!

i have the hd hard bags and really like them. i found them on ebay for cheap and had them painted to match bike. they only take a second to mount so for trips just put them on and take off. they have quick release pins on the inside of bags too. i made a custom luggage rack that attaches to hard bag mounts and had this chromed. in the hard bags i carry tire inflator kit-windzone tool kit- water-warm gloves-map-gps-hat- all kinds of stuff.  good luck ride safe

Thanks Yellow, that is a great option.  I did get the smaller front fork bag just to solve my around town issues (phone, keys, glasses, multi-tool, etc), but I think I will get this to have for an overnight option, or as you guys say, maybe even a whole week.

Thanks again!
