Default Stretched Saddlebags
I installed Ohlins shocks on my 09 Ultra, which dropped the bike 1". I want to get stretched bags, but I don't want to scrape bottom on extreme cornering, and I don't want the bike to look too slammed. What length bags would you guys suggest?
Thanx,
Aces

I have a SG and I installed 4" extended bags. I've had no problems yet. I'm not an aggressive rider so I don't see me having a problem.

I have Top Shop 3 inch bags. Perfect match to the street Glide facia. Should have the install done today.

How are you liking the 12" Ohlin shocks? Do they ride better than the 13" HD shocks? Thanks!

Hey I told you yesterday to "get off the internet and get those bags mounted". LOL
WE NEED SOME FINISHED PICTURES.

It's a long story, but I sent them back, and they just arrived back to me, corrected. I'll let you know after the weekend, when I get to do some riding w/them.
