Thanks. Yeah, if you have any pics taken from the side showing how much clearance there is between the pipes and fishtails and the bags, I'd like to see them. Also, what kind of bags are yours?

The clearance is not the issue, its the opposite really, there is too much space. I am in the process of having a set of hard bags stretched 2.5 inches to fill in the gap. I have the Samson 36's and with the stretched bags it is a perfect fit. I will have pics up soon.

Found this bike picture on BB Reproductions website. I'm kinda developing a liking to this style of bags. I believe these bags work with stock pipes, so I imagine they'd work with 28.5" Samson fishtails. Just need to read more to see how quick/easily they attach ond remove. I'm planning on getting the same color bike, and was wondering how the bags would look. i'd have to get a custom paint job to get two-tone with other bags. I'd think i could get these direct from BB.

Those old Royalite style bags makes a modern Deluxe have a 50's look that that will really draw attention because its not something you see everyday. At around $500 - $550, they are priced reasonably too.
Here are some old Duo Glides for inspiration!
