Default Extended Bag Options...

I haven't even registered my SG yet and am already thinking of mods.
Other than little bibs and bobs, I REALLY like the look of extended bags that hug the dual exhaust pipes.

Being that I am TOTALLY new to the touring side (Night Train guy originally...), are the one's I've seen a local wrencher/body work deal or are they sold by certain companies?

Thanks!

There are several manufacturers of extended saddlebags out there with several different price points. I see a lot of riders going with Arlen Ness, Milwaukee Bagger and Bad Dad bags. You can also get saddlebag extensions which basically adhere to your stock saddlebags to give the illusion of extended bags. These require some body work to eliminate the seams but if they are done right you can't even tell they are not complete extended bags.

Good luck with your search and welcome to the Touring club!

Try Sinister industries. I have their extended bags, top quality and are similar material that the harley bags are made out of (ABS).

........ or you can embrace the seam as a detail & have the least expensive alternate
