2014 Street Glide Upgrades - Stretched Bags and More
The time had come for the next round of mods for my '14 Glide. This time around, I decided to rebuild the rear end, complete with stretched bags. After a ton of research, and a lot of nagging other forum members, I decided on Dirty Bird 4" extended bags and rear fender. I also decided to swap out the exhaust configuration while I was at it, as I really like the clean look of no exhaust cut outs in the bags. I've never been in love with the 4" Rineharts that I have on the bike, so I went with the Up Yours exhaust from Dirty Bird. Lastly, I threw on a RSD air cleaner and V&H fuel pack while I was at it.
I'm using Baggers Inc here in Phoenix to do the build. They've had the bike for a couple of weeks and are putting the finishing touches on it now, so I'll have it back in the next few days. Once I get the bike back, I'll post updated photos of the finished product. In the meantime, here's some before pics and a quick video of a walkaround of the bike prior to taking it in.
Here are a few before photos:
And here's some photos taken during the process:
Needless to say, I can't wait to get this thing finished! Special thanks to members NorthEnd, 4boogie, ericl, and Roc for taking the time to answer my questions.

The pinstripes on the bike made things a bit difficult when it came to paint. I've never been a fan of the pinstripes, and would ultimately like to get rid of them, but I don't want to have to repaint the entire motorcycle. So I was sort of stuck. I finally just decided to keep the pinstripe theme on the new bags and fender, but asked the painter to add a little personal touch to them to mix things up. I'm liking the result so far, but am definitely antsy to see them on the bike:
