I have recently purchased a 2017 SGS and will be putting CVO style bags on my new ride. The question I have will 4-1/2" S&S MK45's fit with the bags? The vendor whom I am purchasing the mufflers say YES and the HD dealer says maybe, depends on the fit at the bag mounting point. Can someone verify the fitment?
Thanks guys for the input, just wanted to make sure there won't be an issue rubbing. I haven't taken delivery of the bike though I purchased it over a week ago. I've been out on the road for work and the mufflers are the last item to be installed. I original ordered Big Louises 4" but the manufacturer has delayed my order since the endcaps are NOT available so I ordered S&S.

I had Cobra 4.5" slipons but they didn't work with extended bags. They hit. Sold them, & waited 5-6 weeks for my Rush Big Louie 4" w/ extended caps. Was def worth the wait. They do sound fantastic as well. With my bags I find that 4" pipes worked better than some 4.5" slip ons for clearance. If your bags are Harley CVO bags then you should be fine. Mine are aftermarket.
If you get aftermarket extended bags, you'll need to add spacers (and longer bolts) between the exhaust and exhaust bracket to push the exhaust down and clear the bags. I used some stainless steel nuts I had laying around and bought longer bolts to accommodate the thickness of the nuts in order to get the SE Cannons to clear my Arlen Ness bags:
I 100% like them... GREAT deep sound.... Listen to this clip (link below)... The guy says deepest sound of all the 4.5"ers. And had great reviews on them. I was going to go with CFR's but now i'm glad I couldn't find them and installed RCX. Sound is even better than video clip IMO... Congrats on the new bike btw!
