I'm looking to buy a bagger fender and bags for my 02 deuce, and I'm a bit limited on the lingo so I have a question. I notice there are 4", 5", 6" and 8" kits available, I learned it's about the diagonal length, my question is what would look best. Most kits don't have a side view so I'm looking for opinions and pictures any of you have with how much stretch it has. Thanks in advance for any input!

 

My bags are 5". I find that 5" covers the pipes, which is the look I wanted. If you can find 6", they'd look cool. Make sure you get them "scalloped" on the bottom (like my 2nd pic) so you don't scrape them. I'm not an aggressive rider, so I've never even been close to scraping them. I'd go 6" if I had to change --- if they were scalloped on the bottoms.

 

Thanks for the input!

 

Good advice Geezer... what brand are yours?
As to the original question, on my 06 I scrape my 4" bag (right one) all the time. My jiffy stand warns me before i ever scrape the left. I wouldn't do any taller without the scallop, and even then, I think 5" is max without some sort of air ride system.

 

I'm pondering between the 4" and 5" as I've also lowered my deuce this past year. I think anything bigger will hit for sure, and I may just opt with the 4" to be safe.

 

that's a good point to let others know and think about..

 

My 5" bags are from Fairing Factory. I'm closer to scraping the highway pegs than the bags! My highway pegs stick out pretty far, to get my feet away from the lowers. As I said, I'd go 6" if I had to look for some again --- as long as they're "scalloped" on the bottoms. I ride like a Geezr Glidr, and I've never come close to scraping bags! Never scraped a floorboard. Ever.
