Default Stretched Beveled Bags

Ok I tried searching and found nothing, My question is does anyone have these bags and how do they work in the corners. I am about to do stretched bags and really want to go as low as possible but am worried about dragging in the corners. Will the beveled edge get rid of my worry about this it looks like this would solve the problem but would really like some real world experience, now you don't have to have the exact same brand just a bag with a beveled edge.

Thanks and any pics or even video in the corners or sitting pretty would really help

When you say "beveled", do you mean something like an angle cut? If so, I got mine from TopShop, they call em the Viper Cut...I'm a pretty aggressive rider and had these bags for a couple months now and no scraping at all and I think they look pretty sweet.

Thank you bandit5001.
From what TopShop stated, they are 4.5". I'm also planning on lowering it about an inch in the rear and 1 1/2 in the front...i highly doubt they would scrape even when it's lowered.

my buddy just did a set up just like that on his SG. and all ready scraped the crap out of one of the bags.! he ordered some scrape plates that go on the bottom so you don't chew up the bag.

Is his bike lowered? If so, by how much?
