Extended bags and fender NOT lowered
 
I'm about to take the plunge and order some extended bags and fender for my 2014 Street Glide but will not be lowering the bike (yet).

I was wondering if anyone has pictures of this set up (extended bags and fender on a SG/RG that's not lowered).

Reason being is I'm going for a certain look but want to maintain it as a daily rider. My concern is I'll spend all this money and still not be happy, due to its height.

Anything would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Rear air ride is the answer. Rode the crap out of my SG with extended bags and fender. Raise it up to ride and slam it when parked

I know you said no lowered bikes but I have to agree with Duraglide that rear air ride is the way to go with extended bags. Several set ups available out there, Dirty Air has a great set up that isn't to hard on the wallet and pretty easy to install.

Thanks for the pics and I totally agree, when I do lower the bike it'll be with an air ride system, but I do have concerns about it. The primary one being comfort. I LOVE the comfortable ride of my Street Glide and do not want to sacrifice ride quality. It seems reviews of the comfort of air ride are mixed, some say it's as equal to stock and some say it's crap...so that makes me nervous.

The point of the post was to see if anyone had stock height versions just to see if I'd even like the bike at a stock height with extended bags and fender or if I should just continue to save and do it all at once.

I never saw the thread about stock height photos, I'll take another look but even a search yielded zero results.

Here is mine. Its aired up so should be close to stock height. I did the diy air ride set up. Im pretty happy with the set up myself. I think its more comfortable then stock and handles better when the pressures are set right. If the pressures are to soft or to hard you will notice. Minor adjustments and you will be set.
