Stretched bags length
Can anybody provide me with the length of HDs stretched bags from top to bottom? Trying to decide between these or other after market stretched bags.

If you're referring to the CVO style bags, I believe they are 3.5" stretch from factory hard saddlebags. I just put them on my '06 King. They look great! I can get you the exact measurement later on if you need.

I believe they are 1" in the front to 3" in the rear.

Here's a side by side comparison of the CVO bags and the stock bags.

Here's a picture of my CVO bag with some measurements. Hope this helps.

If you've scraped a footboard or two, longer ones may do the same. I have the CVO style bags and they haven't touched down yet.

Agreed. I haven't scraped mine at all. My painter had nothing but good things to say about prepping/painting these bags.

Patroit: How did you upload a "thumbnail" pic instead of a full size?
