I actually like the side extended side covers. Gives it a clean look. Plus the body lines flow better. Also if you ever do the tank extension, side covers are a must.

it really helps clean the lines up where the exhaust runs back under the bags. Bags looks great from the side and the rear but that narrow portion where the pipes run really look like they need something. I'm for getting them as well with your build. My biggest regret is not doing these myself when I upgraded to stretched bags.

I think they complete the look as well.. They also hide the lower bar that the bag sits on

If you're doing bags and rear fender - then YES do the side covers, night & day in making the bike look complete - mine is all Bad Dad parts

I'm not sure about the side covers myself...I'm planning on ordering stretched bags an the fender filler panel this winter. I'll see if I think it looks incomplete. Does anyone make a less pronounced wrapped side cover?

If your stretching the bags and fender, do it right. Do the side covers AND the tank! Imho
