Well to Start, The RKC was designed to run Bags, Trust Me they look good and you really need a place to put stuff. Though You might just want a Crusier not a Tourer,Which is what RKC is. So if yoi want to run Bags off, they sell already Chromed Shocks. Remember Without Bags the Support Frame will be seen, Dont look bad but the bags are part of what makes the RKC an RKC.
