Anyone had any issues with their exhaust pipes causing problems with their Boss Bags.
My bags sit only about 1/3 of an inch over my Screamin Eagle slip ons.
I was wondering about stuff like heat deformation of the bags or excessive heat ruining stuff in the bottom of the bags?
Otherwise they seem great.

 

mine sit pretty close to my rhinehart slipons... no issues with deformation. I have learned to put the water/beer in the other side

 

Not to sound picky but I have never heard someone use the measurement "1/3 of an inch". Is that close to 3/8"? Unless you meant "1/2" or "1/4" and just made a typo.

If you're worried about heat deformation, get creative and build a small heatshield for the external bottom of the bag. A small piece of thick sheetmetal, some rust-resistant paint (not for looks; for protection) and a couple of bolts. Buy 2 nuts each per bolt...one nut for a spacer between metal and leather and one nut on the inside of the bag to tighten it all down.

 

Here is the gap between my Boss Bags and Fat Cat. I would say no problems what-so-ever. I know it gets a little warm in there so put nothing there that you don't want to get a little warm. I know I had more room with my stock pipes but still not a lot. Over 23,000 miles on the bike with those bags on.

I don't know dude sounds pretty picky to me.

 

Yes, I was concerned with the same thing since mine were close to my V&H straight shots... but I switched to Big radius... problem solved.

I know that's not the answer you were looking for. They do tend to have a downward slant near the tail end.

Actually, If I had to do it over, I would have gone with the guys brother at Leather Pro. The bags are almost identical but theirs don't require an install of a "roller bearing" on your rear shocks.
Didn't know of them when I purchased the bags.
