That’s cool man, they didn't have the one piece bags when I got mine only extensions and I wasn't trying to imply any negativity about Baddad at all, just passing my experience with the Milwaukee bagger bags Good luck with your project.

Did the baddad fender this winter what are you guys tying the lower fender to what kind of bracket did you use I had to make a couple of different ones so the fender wouldn't bounce around when cold idling got it tied down good now though take the time to get the holes in your old fender closed up

I'm one that has the smooth back end. Went with the Samson turned down pipes, they were 29in long and fit under the bags nice. I have the stock header pipes, so with yours they may be a little different.

Sand, dirt and gravel are no problem with mine when it comes to kicking anything up. What you will notice is that your pipes will become alot louder with the turn downs. the sound will now bounce off the pavement and right back up. Really noticeable when in traffic and cars are right next to you.

Don't really care for the sharp tone of the Samson's, had Supertrapp SE's before and loved the deep tone. They wouldn't fit with their turned down end caps, end caps were to long. Thought about going without end caps but figured the hot exhaust would damage the fiberglass and paint. I have a picture in my profile of the back end.

The hardest problem on the install with the bags and fender is getting the gap between the two to match up on both sides. Just use a little TLC to tweak all the support brackets for the fender and bags.

Good Luck, you'll love the look. Also, watch out for curbs and driveways that dip along the street, don't ask me how I know.

I just remembered, Klockworks has both long and short turn downs, they look nice, but why out of my price range for slip-ons with no removable baffle.
