The bags are badass quality is top notch, I only have one issue the bottom of the bag is about an 1/8" from the tip of my bag. My shocks aren't the same length as the older dx's.

Garry, what's the temp rating on the abs shield on the bottom?
Ill post a pic in a minute


The quick release sissy bar is a tight fit but it works so the wife is happy lol

 

That is close. Do you think longer shocks would even change anything? It seems like it would be the same.

 

I'm running 13" progressive 444 and a thunderheader, hopefully I will have enough clearance... Bags look great though!

 

Heres my on a 2005 fxdxi

 

Melting point for abs is about 220 degrees F... Just an fyi

 

Idk which type of ABS it is or how hot it gets right at the end of the pipe so ill talk to Garry before I run them on the bike

 

Pipe clearence is gonna be an issue for anyone with shorter shocks then a FXDX and after market exhaust since the bags are based on FXDXT bags. The stock bags were designed for stock FXDXT shocks and exhaust, the good part is the bags block the gap between the tire and fender so you guys with short shocks can change them out to FXDX length and not notice the difference except your bikes will handle better with more suspention travel and it will get the bags away from the exhaust just like the Blue FXDX with the thunderheader. Im glad about that because Ive got a 2000 FXDX with a thunderheader.

 

The length of the shocks wont make a difference.

 

I just went and looked at my bike and your right ....my bad

 

Yeah I did the same earlier and shocks won't change anything the frame of the fxdx is taller than newer models.
