What do you mean Wells? I have the bag extensions on the bags and an extended fender cover to give the bike a big azz look. Let me know what you mean?

Great Bike and nice choice of color! Did you get the 10% below MSRP like dealers out here are advertising?

Happy riding. If it is to cold or snowy to ride in your area, I'll be glad to break it in for you. I'll have her back to you by say, April?

The bag extensions wrap around this muffler and make it look that way, mine are from Arlen Ness, but to do it again I would by the whhole new extended bag, it's deeper and still gives you that look. Check out www.Milwakeebagger.com and www.kustombagger.com which is Klock works, keep in mind I dragged the lower bags going around corners from time to time, I did put skid plates on the bottom, provided by shooter64. Good luck and enjiy the new bike, wish mine were new.
