There's short bags and I think in 03 or 04 they were taller. My FXDP came with the shorties but I switched to the tall ones.

How's the passenger riding situation with these? Looks like the taller bags make it a tight fit. Or maybe just the angle. Or maybe these bags are leg rests for the passenger

Emerican. Your bike looks stellar. It's that a og or a repop fairing. Looks great in white with dark tint screen

Fairing is JD Customs. The passenger peg situation is tight, not because of the height of the bags, but the pegs go almost directly under the bags. I used a Kuruakyn peg extender to push the pegs 4 inches forward and my wife loved it.


Unfortunately the DP got totaled in an accident about 3 months ago so I now have the red FXDX. I loved those bags so the Al's option is really appealing to me.
