Ruined my day
Rode out to my aunts house today for a cookout come off the road goes to gravel across a concrete bridge then up another gravel hill. Start coming down and bike starts sliding I partially panic tryin to avoid losing I and put my feet down keep sliding at it falls over on the side. Scratched the bottom of my bag side of my exhaust and lil bit on engine guard that saved it all. I wanna replace the bags now and prefer to go with some painted so I don't gotta mess with finding paint. Where do you all get your extended bags at? Need some help are the hd extended bags good type I found some at a Harley dealer and looked at them prior to today. All things coulda been worse just pissed at myself I lost it in that rut.

Sorry to hear that, but it could of been worse.
Lotss of aftermarket saddle bags from Baddad, Arlen Ness, etc, etc.
Some folks have good luck w/ the "parts for sale" here, Ebay. I know some
friends that got some stretched bags from "Eastern Performance Cycle", If I am
correct they are called "Fairing Factory" saddle bags.
I'm sure others will chime in.
Good Luck,
YB

I used these guys with my 2009 "Top Shop": http://www.extendedbags.com/ "Top Shop".
It did cost me $425 to have a local painter paint them to match my Big Blue Pearl.
Nothing wrong with the Harley bags and you can order them already painted to match your bike.

You could always try the bag extenders.
Some think they're cheesy.
I think that they are a cheap alternative and really don't look too bad, and are certainly worth looking into.

There's an outfit on ebay that will sell them to you painted for like $300 if I'm not mistaken.
