Hey guys, im a softailer myself but have owned baggers. Im looking at starting a SMALL business making bigger bags for touring machines. 2 inches deeper and 2 inches wider. Id like your input/thoughts. Would you buy something like this for your bike? Am i getting into someting worth while? Yes ill be able to make pipe cutouts etc. Just looking for ground work to start. Thanks for your time/input.

3-4 inch longer seem to be the more popular choice on length.

I've seen a website of someone doing this already. Can't remember the name?
Do your search's to at least figure out your competitors first. I don't know how big your market would be?

www.Sumax.com ? I know they make a wider and deeper bag. I haven't used these bags but I have had some of their other stuff and its really good quality and Kirk is a great guy to deal with.

Someone already making wider and longer ones. Wider ones seem to look out of place.
