CVO or Full Extended Bags
As a Christmas present to myself, I'm wanting stretched bags for my '12 Street Glide. My dilemma is, I can't decide between the CVO style or a fully stretched bag (4-5"). I plan on keeping stock fender until at least next Christmas. Any advantages or preferences for those that did chose one style over the other?

Dude, tough question.... I was just in that situation, my buddy has the cvo bags, and after looking at them closely wasn't the look I wanted. I went Topp Shoppe viper cut bags, more room, and they come with carpet already installed.
It's really your choose, but I like the look of the full
Stretch, but I'm sure the cvo style bags are cheaper as Eastern performance has their cvo styled bags retry reasonably priced...

Depends on the look you want. I wanted the pipes completely covered. These are 5" from Fairing Factory. I was thinking the same thing about the fender, but you gotta get one to make it look right. Mine is a fender cover from Gator Boxes. Was only $375 compared to a whole lot more than that for an actual rear fender. Stock fender is still on the bike. It won't look finished 'til you do the fender.

I went through the same dilemma. After I looked at few a few bikes with the full stretched bags, seeing some scraped up underneath, some with skid plates, and the look itself just didn't appeal to me. I went with Eastern Performance CVO bags. Eastern Performance does sell stretched bags. If I ever did get stretched bags I'd go with these just because you can still lean the bike over and not worry about dragging the bags as much.

I personally do not like the look of full drop bags. Especially the extreme drops. That is why I like the CVO bags. Look good from the back but still allow the pipes to be seen.
