Default Extended bag help

I purchased Hogworkz 4” color matched extended bags, rear fender extender, side skirts. Product is great and color match is spot on. I’m having trouble getting the bag cutout and rear fender cutouts to match up evenly. I’ve removed rubber bushing from bags and it didn’t help. I tried moving the bag bracket but not much play there to compensate for the issue. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Hey! I actually just watched a video on this same problem you are having. Although not hogworkz product, he does a great job of explaining ways to try and help the fitment.

Yes I’ve watched that video as well. But still a little off. Maybe it’s not possible for it to evenly match up lol

If you loosened up all of the bolts and tried to raise the rear fender that little you need - you might want to look at the rear mounting bolt in your fender that is behind your license plate - and try to enlarge the mounting hole to allow it to be raised slightly?

I was thinking the other way - lower the bags and metal frame down might help.
