Default Who Has Sumax Extended Bags?

Can anyone with Sumax extended bags post a pic of their bike from the rear. Wondering how Sumax bags line up with the stock Street glide rear fender and side curtains! I want to keep my stock rear fender but don't like how poorly the exhaust cut outs on the extended bags I've seen line up against the curtains. The bag cutouts are mostly way below the curtain end. Thanks

I dont have them but I can tell you that no extended bags will line up with the stock fender and fillers. The closest and best match are the CVO style bags with the stock fender and fillers.

I talked to Top Shop a year or so ago and they said that they could modify a set of their bags to make it match but the problem then would be that the opening would be oval or not symmetrical and they thought it would look funny.

I was recently told that Yaffe makes different fillers that can be bolted to the stock fender to make the extended bags match better .

Thanks for the info! I'd still like to see the different variations by manufacturer if anyone cares to post? Thanks

Here you go. I do plan on changing rear fender this fall, but I chose to throw a few grand at the front end right now instead.

Thanks guys appreciate all of the pics, links and input! I also hear what your saying Mattbee. I may be a little odd, but I like the style of the stock rear fender better than a lot of the aftermarkets. To my eye many of the after market make the bikes look out of proportion with the rest of the bike???? I've been thinking of converting to the CVO rear fender and taillights with stretched standard width bags.
