You will most likely experience the seam line where the extension meets the stock bag. While the seam line will not be able to be felt with your hand or seen in photographs, it may be visible from certain angles when viewing it in person. The reason for this is the density difference found between the OEM bag, your adhesive, and the bag extension.

That is what Bad Dad sent me. I bet we are not the only three people out there that would want 2in bags

Those new Arlen Ness bags are just over 2".
They're full bags.
They have a scalloped line molded into the side.

Also, check out:
Gator Boxes
Milwaukee Baggers

Gatorboxes and milwaukee bagger are both 4" bags and I called them they said they have no plans either on making them.

Badpiggy do you have somewhere they have dimensions on them. Yaffes site does not have any kind of numbers on them. They look nice I dont know if I am convinced that they are only 2" stretched. Its not that I dont believe you before I spend that kind of doe I want to be sure.

The bags are listed on the Ness site, too.

Yes I have called all the aftermarket saddle bag companies and none manufacter nor have the plans to make them. They only company I had shoe a little interest in the idea of a 2" bad was top shop carbon inc. They also said they may have to cut a bag to produce a 2" but they are very accomidating maybe they would look at producing a 2" streched bag for us?
