I knew my habit was gonna cost me more money by getting momma involved in riding....
At current, she is riding my "hand-me-down" 2008 FLHX-Anniversary... but finally decided she wants a new bike of her own.
She's got her eye on a 2011 RKC in dark/light root beer, but HATES the leather clad bags and would prefer hard bags... but I cant buy a Road King Standard as they dont come in the root beer color!
Thoughts and opinions?...
If she gets the RKC in the color she loves... as has already been suggested, just get the hard bags painted to match.
I'd actually keep the leather bags, unless you really think they will be useless to you, cause it is fun to be able to switch out.
The bags being so easy to do that with.
Of course, selling them makes sense too.
Brand new leather bags, no fingernail scratches on them yet, I bet you will sell them fast and easily.
And... Congrats on the choice your momma has chosen. Well Done!
