I too have Top Shop bags for this reason. Most all other manufacturors do one size bag.
One with a 4 1/4" extention. Looks great but if you ride hard, in corners they could drag the bottoms.
Top Shop wil custon make any extention drop you want. A lot of use on the forums have gone with a 3" drop.

Thanks for all the replies.
Thise bags on the blue SG above look p e r f e c t on that bike.
I think the first thing I am going to do is tear the bike down and get everything that isnt black powdercoated. I am lucky enough to have a good friend that owns a shop and owes me a TON of favors ! Once I get that said and done I can look into the bags more (and prob. a new rear fender)..

for Top Shop Bags. Classic case of a small company stepping up and listening to their customers...THEN delivering. I know, a novel approach

QUESTION:
I am not a complete newbie when it comes to the whole HD scene, but I was wondering what the real deal is with fiberglass extended bags. I just picked up a 1994 Road King Classic and the softbags have to go. I am going for a low/long/clean look with this bike so some Extended hard bags are def. in my future. The question is, who's bags should I go with ? I am sure that their are tons of companies that sell them, and I figure this is the best place to hear different people's opinions on the different manf.'s...
As always, ANY and ALL help is greatly apprecaited..

For some folks it won't matter but extended bags will further restrict the bike's already limited cornering clearance.

Extended Bag
[
Hey, I am looking into purchasing some extended hard bags for my RKC. Curious to know what inch extention are yours? ...3 inch? I know I do not want 4inch. Not planning on the closed in fender look, just want to look a little cleaner by covering at least the space between the stock bag and the top of the exhaust. Thanks you.
