Default Draggin bags

I'm wondering how easily a set of 4.5" stretched bags drag? I'm currently running front floorboard extensions and I don't have trouble dragging them. I'm not really a corner junkie so to speak. I'm curious if the 4.5" bags make contact before the floorboards typically?

I have 4" bags, and they scrape before my footboards do.

I installed some skid plates on the bottom of each bag. They are inconspicuous enough you wouldn't know they're their without understanding what you're looking for/at.

Darn, those look lower than 4" bags.

Air ride dumped in the sig pic.

I have sport bike background, so tend to lean a little bit.

i love the look of extended bags but I'm a corner junky, afraid would just waste the cash. Top Shop 4.5 viper bags are cut and not suposto drag as easy! got this pic off this forum somewhere.
