Extended bags

[Glide585]

Looking for some input on extending my bags. I was thinking 2 in extensions to make flush with fender... Definitely a winter project but would love some feedback.
Thanks

I would buy stretched bags and fender. You wouldn't even notice 2" stretch, lot of work for little pay off. I would buy 4.5" stretched bags and fender

About how much am I looking at for all that? And who would u suggest I use?

I see that a lot on bikes. What would a conversion like cost?

Around $1800-2k for nice bags and fender

I put some extenders on mine. 299 a cheap alternative , but they look good

See what you think. You can get them in black too.

Bad Dad makes a good set of Bag Extensions that can be painted to match your bags. These run $260 and come in either 2" or 4". I would agree with 1badbike2, I'd go with the 4" because a set of 2" won't really make that much of a difference. Keep us posted on what you decide to go with and definitely post some photos!

Thank you for your replies. My reason for the 2 in was for riding. Will the 4 in ext. hit the ground on turns? I'm assuming they will and I don't wanna give up the way I ride for looks... Thoughts??

No they won't. You can corner fine with 4". I have 8" on all my bikes with no issues.

If you are concerned about dragging the bags, you can always purchase some skid plates to go on the bottom of them. In the event that you do lean it low enough to drag, these will keep the bag itself from dragging.

Exactly look at the bags most do not go below the pipes so unless you are dragging pipes its hard to do unless you have a air ride and you have it set very low.
