I have the Cycle Smiths bag extensions on... but for the money I would now go for the VTwin CVO Bags.

NO, i dont like the seam and they dont add storage. For a little more you can get the V Twin CVO style bags.

If you are going to do the extensions the Matazu are pretty good fit and at less than 200.00 a good deal. There are other riders in my group that have Matazu Lowers and Tour Paks and they are good quality.

I got my CVO style bags for about 360 delivered. Painted for 225.00 and sold my old bag bottoms for 200.00 so the total cost is about 380.00 for CVO style bags. Ill install this week and deliver my old bags to their new owner.

Hey groupw,

Nice paint job. Can you tell me where you got your extensions from?

Thanks.

Saddlebag extensions? Not for me thanks. It would bug me everytime I looked at them. Like putting a front wheel on and not the back, but more visible. Do whatever makes you happy. I got painted CVO bags from Eastern Performance, perfect fit. You can sell the factory bags for a few hundred to recoup some money if you need to. The extra room is nice also.
