How much extended? Just a heads up, even as short as a 4 will drag on freakin everything with even mildly aggressive riding. I had 4's on mine a while back and they didn't make it 500 miles before they were off. SCCRRGGHHHH every time I turned the damn thing lol.

I was looking at 4" but now that you mention that, making me think twice. Did you ever have a picture of them on the bike.

I have had no issues with my extended bags although I have a shotgun.

The extended bags look much better with a stretched rear fender though.

Yup the shotgun I'm sure makes all the difference in the world. I am lowered about 1.5 inches and I drug the bags constantly and with regular bags I drag the damn pro pipe now.

They do look good though, really good.
