Stretched bags

[luvtoride]

I'm thinking of adding stretched saddlebags to my bike. Any inconvenience to them like dragging in sharp corners and the likes.
Thank you
Arnold

They will drag if you like to ride curves at anywhere near the limit of the bikes ground clearance. If you ever drop the bike at a standstill, the saddlebag guards will not protect them.

If you drag them in a corner you would have laid it over beyond what you should have for a cruiser bike. I haven't drug mine yet

There is a roundabout not far from where I live that I heard a small tic one time, something had touched. I'm thinking they would not be suitable for me. They do look nice.
Thanks for the responses.

And personally the look is worth the chance! Haha

I’ve got Top Shop Vipers. I assume that because they curve inward, I’ve never dragged. But, as hulkss above stated, rear crash bars are worthless.

Hey Arnold, I’m using these bags on my Street 500, great fit and no scraping unless you’re really leaning. You could also check out the Boss Bags for a more stretched look; they’re super popular here in the U.S.

It really comes down to your riding style and how low your bike sits. If you're aggressive in the twisties, you'll definitely notice the reduced clearance, but for most highway cruising and standard city turns, it's rarely a major issue. They definitely change the profile of the bike for the better!
