Pro's and Cons and opinions on stretched bags
This may have been discussed before but i couldnt find it so here we go...
I am looking to stretch my bags on my 2010 road king and i know the look i want that aint really the problem.
I want to know how these bags affect ride in the different lengths. I dont want to turn my bike into a trailer queen i def ride
so i want the full draped look dont even want to see my rear tire at all... how much does this effect cornering and ride? do i need to modify suspension to get this look or to keep from ruining the bags..
also open to pics of ur bags and what model and where u got ur bags and enders from as i am shopping around

Bag Sizes
One thing to think about is how much/aggressive you ride. The longer the bags, the less cornering your going to be doing. My recommendation is that you go with a 3" stretch, 4" at the most. That way you can still ride pretty agressive and the bags cover the rear tire. Once I get all my pennies collected from the couch, I'll be putting 3" bags on. Then, I'll be putting air ride on ( take a peek at legend air suspension for those - Great Product!!) so once your parked, you can just slam the bike and your rear tire is covered!!
Bag prefference - Top Shop!! Quality bags and they just came out with a bunch of new designs!! They have videos on facebook of people standing on their stretched fender and the dont budge so they're pretty tough!!
I speak from experience on this stuff b/c I've built a couple baggers and my last one was a 2010 road glide!!
Good luck with your search and if you have any questions...shoot away!!!
