Default Fishtail length for the 700th time

Looking to finally pull the trigger and order some stretched bags for my deluxe. I've read NUMEROUS threads over the last few months, but none really offer a solid answer. Do 36" clear 4 inch stretched bags?? Also, if anyone has a Samson hookup, that be great too! Have a good night fellas

I have 28 1/2" Samsons on my Deluxe and my bags are 21 1/2" at their widest point. You might be able to reference this to your bags for fit.

I have the Samson 28.5" fishtails. They are fender length pipes.



Just determine how far past the fender the pipes need to go and add that to 28.5. Then, round up to the nearest length.

Samuel Clemons? Whoa, Mark Twain did not steal that, He was in a Mark kinda of frame of mind :P > laffs
Like your bags, Boss? My first thought was a really good set of springer bags, although I never seen a pair quite like those.
